Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Seven “Free at Last” is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Free. It was recorded between Jan. and Mar. 1972, and released in May that year. After breaking up in April 1971 due to differences between singer #paulrodgers and bassist #andyfraser the band had reformed in January 1972. My copy is on #aandmrecords - SP 4349. All members of the band made a concerted effort to work smoothly and efficiently for guitarist #paulkossoff ‘s sake as he was suffering due to an addiction to Mandrax (Quaaludes). For example, in a symbolic gesture all tracks were credited to every member of the band regardless of who actually wrote them. During the period in late 1971 where the band had split, Kossoff and #simonkirke had formed a new band with Japanese bassist #tetsuyamauchi and keyboard player #johnrabbitbundrick ; Kirke asked them to join the Free tour in place of Fraser. They accepted and joined the band officially. #rockandroll #rocknroll #hardrock #theseventies #free https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDDHGIu99X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
