I don't know why this album gets so little attention. In my youth I loved this album, and have had Free Electric Band on casette for many, many years up until the present time. I've often scanned Amazon for this album, and reviews but to no avail until I spotted this. Every song on FEB is a winner - I can't speak for Southern California,and to be frank have never particularly gotten into any of Albert Hammond's music other than FEB. The title track is a fantastic number, and many of the others, though a bit pop-orientated for my current taste, hold up well and are very tuneful and listenable.

One only ever sees compilations of Hammond, but I rate FEB has better than any compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh wow !!!, March 25, 2011

Well, what more can I say. For any Albert Hammond fan, this double compilation is so fantastic. I loved this guy when I was much younger, and these tracks are just the best for bringing it all back. There are no dud tracks on this double album, they just range from good to bloody fantastic !

5.0 out of 5 stars Great double album, October 23, 2008

This is a great addition to your audio collection. Albert Hammond has some very entertaining lyrics with a great rock/pop sound. You will love this CD.
