Rise Up (Peter Frampton album)

Rise Up is an album released by Peter Frampton in 1980, featuring five earlier versions of tracks later re-recorded for Frampton's next studio album. As Frampton stated: "This album was released in Brazil to promote our tour there in 1980 - the album eventually turned into Breaking All the Rules, released the next year."^[1] Rise Up featured an almost entirely different lineup of musicians. "Midland Maniac" is the only studio track from Rise Up not to be featured on Breaking All the Rules, even in a re-recorded version.
