4.0 out of 5 stars A penultimate classic, April 7, 2005

What a great album! The remastering certainly breathes life into this classic album and the liner notes which come with the CD are also most informative.
What interests me most about this album is that it was the one before the 'big one' - Fire and Water. The band have their first album under their belt and were gigging heavily. According to the liner notes the album was produced under strained conditions but it doesn't show - Outstanding tracks: the riffiness of 'I'll be creepin'; the jaunty punch of Fraser's bass in 'Songs of Yesterday' and 'Trouble on Double Time' are excellent. Kossoff's playing shines in the bluesy track 'Woman' and the album finishes with the ethereal 'Morning Sad Morning'... Rogers' voice is outstanding, and Kirke's drumming is impeccable...
The bonus tracks are great but I would have like to have seen more new material like 'Sugar for Mr Morrison' rather than alternatives of songs we already know.
An album certainly worth having... but play it when you're in a suitable mood!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Classic, June 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Free (Audio CD)

Some people have no idea when it comes to critical analysis of music!...(Having read the other reviews).

Free is really the best album for mood and temperment that you can listen to from the Free collection.
It is my favorite due to it's soulfullness and inspired earthy integrity.
Every track has unique colors and flavors that carry the music to a beautifull world, a world that only Free could create.
I love and respect the quality and musicianship of this CD.
Both thumbs up!! It's a Classic.

Great album from start to finish! Plus you get mono mixes, b-sides and alternate takes of all the songs. And only 2 of them appear on the box set Songs of Yesterday!
