Breaking All the Rules is the seventh studio album by English musician Peter Frampton, released on 14 May 1981 by A&M Records.
Breaking All the Rules featured a raw live in the studio approach like its predecessor Rise Up, which was a Brazilian EP release to promote Frampton's concert tour in Brazil in 1980. The piece of the same name was re-recorded for Breaking All the Rules with an almost entirely different lineup of musicians, with only Frampton and Regan appearing on both versions of the song. 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] The album features Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro of Toto.
All tracks written by Peter Frampton except where indicated.
