Background

The Breaking All the Rules album had featured a raw live in the studio approach like its predecessor Rise Up, which was a Brazilian release to promote Frampton's concert tour in Brazil in 1980. The album had won airplay for its anthemic title track, which was co-written with Procol Harum lyricist Keith Reid. The album's cover was photographed at 350 W 23rd Street, Chelsea, New York City.[1]
