ISLAND REMASTERS Series.
FIRE AND WATER is the third studio album by English rock band Free, released on 26th June 1970. It became the band's breakthrough album, achieving widespread commercial success as the band's first two studio albums were not successful. With the "tremendous" acclaim of FIRE AND WATER at their backs Free headlined the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival with an estimated audience of 600,000 to 700,000 attendees and "appeared destined for superstardom". The album spawned the band's signature hit song "All Right Now", as a hard rock smash powered by Paul Rodgers' gritty, visceral vocals. "All Right Now" remains a staple track of classic rock radio. ''All Right Now'' is still played on the radio somewhere in the world every 45 seconds. 2008 digitally remastered and expanded two CD (total 30 tracks) edition of the British Blues-Rock quartet's career-defining 1970 outing, now featuring a total of 23 bonus tracks.

When the British blues-rock four-piece Free entered London’s Trident Studios in January 1970 to record their third album, they were in need of a hit. Rather than fill up every nook and cranny of a hard-rock template to gain power, Free was relatively minimal in their arrangements, relying on a subtle interlocking of instrumental parts and the control of loud-soft dynamics. Creating a remarkably well-balanced sound Free was one of the few groups that might agree with 19th century composer Debussy’s assertion that ''Music is the silence between the notes''. Vocalist Paul Rodgers combined the raspy funk of James Brown, the frankly sexual swagger of Robert Plant and the versatility and panache of Rod Stewart. His main songwriting partner Andy Fraser, classically trained on piano, played bass like he was the de-facto leader of the group, drawing comparisons to John Entwistle, John McVie and Jack Bruce for his meticulous, highly syncopated approach. He’d been playing professionally since the age of 15, beginning with a stint in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and was justifiably confident of his abilities, sometimes to the point of arrogance. Paul Kossoff’s guitar work was a highly controlled stream of tremolo, feedback and piercing tones that combined his love of Albert, Freddie and B.B. King with the adventurous, dramatic approach of his friend and mentor Peter Green. On the drums Simon Kirke was a solidly reliable timekeeper who disdained flash for the perfectly inserted snare crack or cymbal punctuation in the style of Charlie Watts.
