Where I Should Be is a studio album by Peter Frampton, released in 1979.

Background

In 1978 Peter Frampton appeared in the movie version of The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", alongside the Bee Gees. He played the role of Billy Shears. The movie was not received well, although it did give Frampton another Rolling Stones magazine cover appearance. The soundtrack was successful though, it reached #5 in the album charts and went platinum. Frampton appears on the album, performing The Beatles tunes alongside people like George Burns. On June 21, 1978, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was released into Theathers. In June 1978, Frampton suffered a near fatal car crash in the Bahamas, which left him with a concussion, muscle damage and broken bones, to make matters worse, he and his longtime girlfriend also ended their relationship. But in 1979, he released the album "Where I Should Be", which went gold and produced the hit "I Can't Stand It No More", which reached #14 in the singles charts. In addition to some good Frampton compositions and guitar solos ("Got My Feet Back on the Ground", Everything I Need", She Don't Reply") The album's other highlights include the two Isaac Hayes - David Porter covers, "May I Baby", and You Don't Know Like I Know". The personnel really make it an interesting record. Jamie Oldaker drums on several of the tracks, and gives the pieces a great feel (plays a shuffle). Some of Frampton's earlier solo records leave something to be desired, but this is an excellent overall production, and stands up to the test of time.
