Release As A Single
"Do You Feel Like We Do" was released as the third single from Frampton Comes Alive! in September 1976. By that stage, Gerald Ford had invited him to stay at the White House as a result of the success of Frampton Comes Alive!. It was edited down extensively for the 45 RPM single and promo single for pop radio stations, but the said single version was still 7 minutes long. Many radio stations were known to further edit the song down, in order to make it fit in the then-tightly-programmed AM radio formats. It reached number 10 on the US pop charts and number 39 in the UK making it one of the longest songs to reach the US top 10.
Many album-oriented rock stations played the full 14 minute length version, most notably WBCN in Boston, Massachusetts. WBCN is credited with being the first album rock station to play the full length of the album on air.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or single:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“People of talent resemble a musical instrument more closely than they do a musician. Without outside help, they produce not a single sound, but given even the slightest touch, and a magnificent tune emanates from them.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
