PRE-ORDER RELEASED 9TH SEPTEMBER 2016
Formed in London in 1968, Free are regarded as one of the primary innovators of Blues rock. They hit mainstream global success in 1970 and played to over 600,000 people at the Isle of Wight festival that same year. By the time they had disbanded in 1973 they had released 6 studio albums, sold over 20 million albums and played over 700 shows. This 7-LP box set, housed in a sturdy box features their albums in their original form. They have been newly re-mastered from the original tapes by Andy Pearce to enhance the sound of these classic albums and will have original art work.
TONS OF SOBS

Produced by the head of Island Records, Chris Blackwell, the band’s second album managed a respectable #22 in the UK charts.

FIRE AND WATER

HIGHWAY
Released in 1970 is a low-key and introspective album compared with its predecessors. From a writing point of view Highway continued in the same vein as previous albums, with Paul Rodgers and Andy Fraser collaborating on seven of the nine songs. Paul Kossoff preferred the more serious, weighty songs on the album such as "Be My Friend", which he saw as an antidote to the "frivolity" of "All Right Now”.

FREE AT LAST
The fifth album was released in 1971 after the band had split up and reformed; it was the last album to feature Andy Fraser who left soon after the album was recorded.

HEARTBREAKER
Heartbreaker was the bands sixth and final studio album it provided them with one of their most successful singles, "Wishing Well". The album was, by Free's standards, a huge success. It became their third top-ten album in the UK (reaching #9), and reached No. 47 in America.

LIVE
Free Live! was released by Island Records to commemorate the band, who had broken up in April 1971. The album was a hit, reaching #4 in the UK album charts.
