About
Somethin's Happening is the third studio album by Peter Frampton, released in 1974. It reached #125 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Following the release of the 1973 album Frampton's Camel, keyboard player Mick Gallagher chose to leave the group, and for the next album Peter Frampton played keyboards in addition to his more customary guitar duties. Frampton retained British bassist Rick Wills, and American drummer John Siomos for Somethin's Happening which was recorded, with Chris Kimsey engineering, at studios in London, and at Headley Grange in Hampshire, a former workhouse which had been previously used by Led Zeppelin for some of their notable recordings. The Hipgnosis-designed album cover is notable for its freeze-frame photos of the band having buckets of water thrown in their faces. Sales of Somethin's Happening, like those of its predecessors, were disappointing.
