From Frampton (1975). Frampton is the fourth studio album by English rock musician Peter Frampton, released in 1975. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Peter Frampton's other songs from Frampton, stands in. Set the amp clean, with the gain barely up and use the neck pickup.
