- Spectrum Music/Universal Music Company- 600753308370- 500 grn
Formed in London in '68, Free played the Blues like no one else: raw, minimal and uncompromising. By 1970, they were headlining the Isle Of Wight Festival and scaling the UK charts. Their hits (all included here) remain radio favorites whilst their unique style would help inspire Heavy Rock and Metal. Free one of the greatest yet underrated bands to come out of the late 60's. Raw blues and soul influenced Rock and Roll. This compilation contains 34 songs on 2CDs and these are all the original studio versions. It includes all the hits ''All Right Now'', ''Wishing Well'', ''Fire And Water'' etc. Plus selected tracks from their much too short career 1969-1973. There is also a booklet which contains a nice essay, but not many photos. Yes this is another in the seemingly endless list of Free compilations, but this is the best one. Alexis Corner is quoted somewhere in the booklet as saying that Free were the last great rock band to emerge from the 1960's. That was true. When they're good they're just about perfect. This fabulous collection cements just how great and underrated they were. Anybody into classic rock or just rock and roll should own at least one Free album and this is a fine place to begin since you get most of their essential singles and material. This is worthy representative selection of Free songs across the years and includes all their UK chart hits. Thankfully, these are original remastered recordings and not the remixed recordings which were done many years ago. There is a history being told in the timeline of the group. Its worth checking out, these are the original (not remixed) recordings. Sound quality is quite good if not totally amazing, but it's generally more than adequate and clear to ears. Even if playing it on just a lowly dock system, it sounds fine enough. It is perfect for Free fans and those who would like an introduction to this incredible band. Happy listening...
