Peter Frampton to record with son Julian


Peter Frampton to record with son Julian


Peter Frampton has announced that he will be soon writing and recording once again with his son Julian.

In a Facebook message Peter wrote, 'Julian and I are going to write and record together again. I'm really looking forward to doing this. It's hard to find the words to describe the feeling of making music with one of my children. He's a great writer, singer, musician and keeps me on my toes. I can't wait. Rock & Roll!'

Julian Frampton co-wrote 'Road To The Sun' on Peter Frampton's 2010 album 'Thank You Mr. Churchill'.

Peter has recently relocated to Nashville and his next step is tto move his studio to Nashville as well. 'At Christmas my son Julian and I are going up to my studio which is still presently in Cincinnati. I will be moving it down to Nashville when I find the right room to set up shop here'.

Frampton's 1976 double live album 'Frampton Comes Alive' became the biggest selling live album of all-time and was the best-selling album of 1976 in the USA, selling over 6 million copies.

Peter recently released FCA35, a 35th anniversary 2DVD, 3CD edition revisiting the original album in concert after 35 years. In 2011 and 2012 Peter toured the world and performed the original setlist for the Frampton Comes Alive album in its entirety.

'I have tried to find the best musical performances from as many different countries and cities as possible,' says Frampton. 'My MO in choosing these tracks was to make this CD as representative as possible of the entire year of shows. Maybe there's one you were at, whether you're from Europe or the US. I'm still going through the 116 versions of 'Do You Feel.' as I write this! I might never want to play it again, so you better pick this CD up just in case!'

Metallica start their own record label


Metallica start their own record label


After 28 years Metallica have taken ownership of their original masters and have launched their own label Blackened Recordings.

Metallica has renegotiated its 1994 agreement with Warner Music Group to revert all masters, including music and long form video, to the band as of today (November 20, 2012). They then announced Blackened Recordings to handle the future release of their titles.

'It's always been about control for us as a band,' said Metallica's Lars Ulrich. 'Forming Blackened Recordings is the ultimate in independence, giving us 100% control and putting us in the driver's seat of our own creative destiny.'

Blackened Recordings has licensed the Metallica catalogue back to Warner's Rhino Entertainment for North America and to the Universal Music Group for all other territories internationally.

'We would like to thank everyone at the Warner Music Group for 28 years of a fantastic relationship, particularly since 1994 where we truly felt we had partners in every aspect of our business in North America,' said the band's James Hetfield.

The first release on the new Blackened label will be the live DVD 'Quebec Magnetic' on December 10, 2012.
