He joined Humble Pie the following year, establishing his reputation as a guitar icon. In 1972, Frampton released his first solo album ``Wind of Change,'' but it wasn't until 1976 that Frampton skyrocketed to success with his ``Frampton Comes Alive!'' album. ``The night that the album was recorded was really the first time we had headlined a show,'' Frampton said of making the album. ``It was just one of those great nights when you think, I wish we had recorded tonight. Well, thank God we did.'' When ``Frampton Comes Alive!'' is re-released, it will have three songs not found on the original. His earlier albums ``Wind of Change,'' ``Frampton's Camel,'' ``Something's Happenin' '' and ``I'm In You'' have also been remastered and re-released.
