This is an AUTHENTIC HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL VINTAGE Complete 12" Album cover, inner sleeve, and vinyl record of 5 main members in the American rock band "THE J. GEILS BAND - FREEZE FRAME" featuring the autographs by Peter Wolf, J. Geils, Magic Dick, Seth Justman, and Danny Klein. Freeze-Frame is the tenth
studio album by American
rock band
The J. Geils Band, and the last one to feature original vocalist
Peter Wolf. The album was released on October 26, 1981, by
EMI Records. It reached number one on the United States
Billboard 200 album chart in February 1982, and remained at the top for four weeks. The album featured the hit singles "
Centerfold" (No. 1 US; No. 3 UK) and "
Freeze Frame" (No. 4 US). "
Angel in Blue" also reached the US Top 40. Keyboardist
Seth Justman wrote or co-wrote all of the album as well as receiving credit as arranger and producer of the material.
A 2013 Spin article called "Flamethrower" the band's funkiest song and said: "With three avant-gardish anomalies that flirted with harmolodic punk-jazz funk ("Rage in the Cage," "Insane, Insane Again," and "River Blindness") balancing out three slick Top 10 pop hits, 1981's Freeze Frame holds the rare if not impossible distinction of being simultaneously both the J. Geils Band's most blatantly pop and mostly blatantly experimental album."
The J. Geils Band was an American
rock band formed in 1968, in
Worcester, Massachusetts, under the leadership of
guitarist John "J." Geils. The original band members included
vocalist Peter Wolf,
harmonica and
saxophone player
Richard "Magic Dick" Salwitz,
drummer Stephen Bladd, vocalist/
keyboardist Seth Justman, and
bassist Danny Klein. Wolf and Justman served as principal
songwriters. The band played
R&B-influenced
blues rock during the 1970s and soon achieved commercial success before moving towards a more mainstream radio-friendly sound in the early 1980s, which brought the band to its commercial peak. After Wolf left the band in 1983 to pursue a solo career, the band released one more album in 1984 with Justman on lead vocals, before breaking up in 1985. Beginning in 1999, the band had several reunions prior to the death of its namesake, J. Geils, on April 11, 2017.
The band first released several Top 40 singles in the early 1970s, including a cover of the song "Lookin' for a Love" by The Valentinos (which reached #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972), as well as the single "Give It to Me" (#30 in 1973). Their biggest hits included "Must of Got Lost" (#12 in 1975), "Come Back" (#32 in 1980), "Love Stinks" (which reached #38 in 1980 and was featured in several films), "Freeze-Frame" (#4 in 1981), and "Centerfold" (#1 in 1982).
