They did manage to include the live versions of “Show Me the Way” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.” The disc is rounded out by Frampton’s biggest hit, the cuddly “I’m in You” from 1977, five tracks from his ’70s albums, including his pale cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours),” and the title track from 1981′s Breaking All the Rules. If they had included the better version of “Baby, I Love Your Way,” this disc would have been quite easy to recommend to stingy Frampton fans, but as it is, it’s merely OK. – Tim Sendra
