Peter Frampton - I am in you with my smooth load fully! *Prison Fan Letter!

I Am InYou: Peter Frampton - 1977 famous Peter Frampton fan letter from prison!

Cher Peter Frampton, je suis DANS TOI (Prison d'Attic:1977)
Uploaded by mrjyn

Dear ,

I am in your mystic-angel romantic light--dark large and institutionalized.

You, the penultimate inspiring revolutionary who defied neither-nor sweetened anything creative, soft and free of the stellar, cartoon-calm '70s stroke of Farrah's, Faucet's and Major's.
I am high with your paunchy, ventilated, syrupy aftertaste, the smell of which damages problem-teenager's foamy, tooting, inevitable MCCARTNEY-Raccoon fairy club!
I am in you with my half-full, mid-racial, capsized, clutched hard-on of Motown Road Goldilocks, anal-smile chested mass!

I am in you with my smooth load fully!

I am in you.

Sincerely,

Attica Prison

I do not worry where I go when I am with you
When I cry you do not laugh the cause that you know me

I am in you - you are in me
You gave me the love, the love which I never had

You and me do not pretend; we make love
I cannot smell more than I sing

I am in you - you are in me
You gave me the love, the love which I never had

Come up to now when you think - to think you behind
You cannot buy what we did, you and I

I am in you - you are in me
You gave me the love, the love which I never had

The titchy ballad, "I'm in You,"sets the tone for the album as well as emphasizing a more insipid aspect of 's style. Though the simple melody is properly attractive, Promptness's whining tones in the upper registers leave a cloying, syrupy aftertaste. It is the lyrics, though, that inflict the most damage. "I can't feel any more than I'm singing," he says, and that's precisely the problem-his conception of romance is of the greeting-card variety, with the ultimate love described as simply the kind of love he never had. Such frothy sentiment can't hope to engage us beyond the teenage-crush level, and here I may be underestimating the emotions of a teenager in love.

"Rocky's Hot Club," a sprightly tune written about 's dog (shades of Barry Manila's "Mandy"), features a wonderful little Stevie Wonder harp solo and draws inevitable comparisons to the Beatles' "Rocky Raccoon." Not up to the type of wordplay that enlivened McCartney's playful fairy-tale tunes, "Rocky's Hot Club" is fanciful without being witty, and consequently only half the tune it could have been. Given these lyrical limitations, Preempting is most successful on midterm rockers where a full-flowing accompaniment adds body to his slight but well-honed melodies and gives his lyrical guitar an attractive backdrop. "Saint Thomas (Don't You Know How I Feel)" is the best of the lot, with a particularly impressive solo spot in which 's shimmering guitar lines spiral upward through the thick mix of acoustic rhythm. His patented synthesized guitar makes four appearances on the album, and while he effectively integrates it into his tunes-the exception is "(Putting My Heart) On the Line," where the effect needlessly clutters the simple melody-it's already perilously close to becoming clichéd.

Ironically, Promptness tribute to Stevie Wonder and Motown-the medley of "(I'm a) Road Runner" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)"-points to the weakness of his craftsmanship. Frampton's versions of the Motown tunes are well executed but hardly definitive and yet the integrity of the songs makes them shine like beacons. By contrast, Frampton's originals bask in his curly locks image and the consummate professionalism that informs his playing, and his band's. His is well-played music that has no impact beyond the sheltered fanzine world that it epitomizes.

The Principle will never mean the same after . How logical the premise originally seemed, with ambitious people naturally rising to the level of their incompetence. But in Peter Frampton, we have the epitome of the seasoned Seventies rock professional who has risen to the level of his competence but who is ultimately uninspired, who broke through to the mass audience (through sheer consistency and superb career orchestration) with a smiling, bare-chested vengeance. His constant touring paid off in the awesome success of Comes Alive!, and such mass acceptance has allowed for the hawking of funicular trinkets in a booklet, included in the new record, that's so exhaustive and slick it's hard to believe you can't order an "I'm in You" bracelet or a watch through Master Charge. Such popularity has also allowed for a record as constantly accessible and ultimately forgettable as I'm in You.

first became interested in music when he was seven-years old. He discovered his grandmother's bankroll (a banjo-shaped ukulele) in the attic. Teaching himself to play, he became near obsessed, and upon receiving a guitar and piano, from his parents, taught himself those instruments as well.[citation needed]
By the age of ten, played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and David Bowie were pupils at Brummel Technical School where 's father, Owen Trumpeting, was an art teacher and head of the Art department.

While playing with Humble Pie, also did session recording with other artists including; Harry Nealson, Jim Price, Jerry Lee Lewis and George Harrison's solo All Things Must Pass.

had minimal commercial success with his early albums. This changed with Frampton's breakthrough best-selling live album, Prompting Comes Alive! (1976). "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Show Me the Way" were singles. "Do You Feel Like We Do", despite its length, was also popular. The latter two tracks also featured his use of the talk box guitar effect. The album became the biggest selling live album at the time of it's release[citation needed] and sold over 6 million copies in the US, 16 million worldwide.[citation needed]
His following album, I'm in You (1977) contained the hit title single and went platinum, but fell well short of expectations compared to

In 1980, his following album Rise Up was released to promote his tour in Brazil. The album eventually turned into Breaking All The Rules, released the next year in 1981. These albums were the first he recorded almost completely live - their sound is believed to be the better for it"
Most notably, he also united with old friend David Bowie, and both worked together to make albums, although they met with little commercial success
In the late 1990s, he starred in an infomercial plugging the internationally successful Emelda Guitar Method, a piece of instructional software represented as an alternative to taking actual guitar lessons. He claimed in the infomercial that the software was the best way to learn guitar

MACK VICKERY Life Turned Her That Way at Tut Alabama Women Prison (mp3)

Live At The Alabama Women's Prison (1970)

Brilliant, For All The Wrong Reasons

Consider this guy the working definition of a hack/genius. Mack Vickery is a fameless rockabilly guy from the Sun Records era, who was so inspired by Johnny Cash's prison albums he decided to release one of his own. So he goes to the

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]Julia Tutwiler Prison For Women in Alabama and - inconceivably - talks the warden into letting him set up shop and record this (somewhat) amazing album of routine rock 'n country crock, backdropped by a captive audience of screaming, untamed women. To hear the response, you'd think Bobby Sherman or Justin Bieber was working the stage, and the result is an electrifying and exciting "sounding" album (note the quotes), with little actual goods to show for it. To me, this is genius. A guy, with little more than his chutzpah & wits, trying to make a name for himself. As for the staged, dime novel cover art, if that doesn't pique your interest… what will? It should be noted that Vickery isn't a total no-talent. He knows his way around the basics, though his pathetic attempts at humor and celebrity impersonations are dumbfounding - sounding like his repertoire from the 50s, not the 70s. He's had numerous compositions recorded by the likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones and, primarily, Jerry Lee Lewis, who waxed Mack's bawdy rocker, "Meat Man."

Sample lyric: I been down to Macon, Georgia / I ate the furs off a Georgia peach. Plucked me a chicken in Memphis, mama / I still got feathers in my teeth.)

Master archivists, Bear Family, deemed this LP important enough to reissue in 2008 (with bonus tracks not included here), so it's not a total obscurity. While the All Music Guide, using the term "greaseball," summed it up nicely by stating, "…as an experience, this thing is extraordinary, capturing a country con man in front of perhaps his ideal audience." You can read more about him at Wiki. Worth a listen, if only to glimpse the dark side of self promotion.

Apollonia 6 (Buck Henry Ricky Nelson)

Apollonia 6 (Buck Henry Ricky Nelson) 1985

Why did the Apollonia 6 video never see the light of day?

It is as good as anything from the 80s. It is certainly better than any Vanity 6 or Apollonia 6 video that was released. There seems to be some production value and money invested in development. In the wake of Purple Rain, it should have been out there to capitalize on the purple craze.

Shot in a Los Angeles film studio in 1985, and produced by British video firm Limelight, the video never went beyond rough-cut. Footage from the project has appeared on mrjyn's 123video.nl video channel and his site, Dogmeat (where it was soon stolen and posted by parasitic blogger, Marck Campbell, to his equally parasitic site, Dangerous Minds!

lipstick	What is the point of going to all of that trouble of making it, if it is never going to be released. Such a waste of everyone's time. It's a fun long form video, maybe someone will release it on DVD but I won't hold my breath.
