Framed is the 1972 debut album by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. The album was released separately on CD but is more widely available on a 2 in 1 album, the other album being Next. This album also features a cover of the song written by Willie Dixon and originally performed by Muddy Waters, "I Just Want To Make Love To You". The title track is a Leiber/Stoller song recorded by The Robins. "Hammer Song" and "Midnight Moses" are two Harvey originals that first appeared on his solo LP Roman Wall Blues.
In their early school days, under various group names, the Australian post-punk band The Birthday Party used to cover many of the songs from Framed in their live sets, as vocalist Nick Cave was a huge fan of the band. Cave later recorded a version of "The Hammer Song" on the album Kicking Against the Pricks.
All tracks composed by Alex Harvey; except where indicated
The 2002 CD release incorrectly credits Ritchie Valens as composer for track #1.
