Background

Frampton pursued a grittier sound on this record. It was recorded at Jimi Hendrix's old Electric Lady Studios. Four years later, Frampton would record there again for I'm in You .

The album shared its name with the band Frampton assembled in 1972, which was more of a group project, including bassist Rick Wills, new drummer John Siomos, and keyboardist Mick Gallagher. In fact, early editions of the LP, eight-track and cassettes all listed and denoted the album as "Frampton's Camel" by "Frampton's Camel".
