Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Four. “Free” is the eponymous second studio album by this English rock band, recorded and released in 1969. The band had spent time touring their debut album Tons of Sobs (1969) the previous year, and there is a marked difference in the musicianship of the band as well as #paulrodgers 's voice. Both albums were released by #islandrecords , with #freealbum being produced by #chrisblackwell , the head of Island, taking over from #guystevens , who produced the first album. My copy is a reissue on #aandmrecords - SP 4204 (the U.S. release) The album is notable for having innovative artwork from #ronraffaelli of The Visual Thing Inc. It is featured in the book 100 Best Album Covers. Raffaelli made the cover by photographing his model with strobe lights to make a silhouette of her against a background, on which he could then overlay the design. Hence, the album has a design of a woman made of stars leaping across the sky. The band's name is printed in extremely small letters at the top of the cover. #thesixties #rockandroll #andyfraser #paulkossoff #simonkirke #freeband https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnr1GdtuM9w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
