SCROLL DOWN FOR SUPERSIZE PHOTOGRAPHS
ISLAND RECORDS, CAT NO: ILPS 9104, MATRIX NUMBERS 1A/1B
THIS IS A VERY GOOD+ FIRST PRESSING COPY OF FREE'S SECOND STUDIO ALBUM, SIMPLY TITLED "FREE", WHICH SAW INCREASED INFLUENCE ON THE BAND'S SOUND FROM THE THEN TEENAGE BASS PLAYER, ANDY FRASER. IT INCLUDES THE FREE CLASSICS "I'LL BE CREEPIN'" AND "WOMAN".
THIS IS PART OF MY OWN COLLETION AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE NEW, AND IS ONLY FOR SALE NOW BECAUSE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND A MINT COPY A FEW WEEKS AGO.
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD POPS. THERE ARE SOME MINOR MARKS AND SCUFFS VISIBLE UNDER STRONG LIGHT, BUT NOTHING WHICH AFFECTS THE AUDIO WHICH IS RICH AND CLEAR WITH NO BACKRGOUND NOISE OR CRACKLE. THE LABELS ARE THE ORIGINAL PINK ISLAND 'I' LABELS WHICH ARE BOTH CLEAN AND UNMARKED.
THE OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH A FULLY READABLE AND INTACT SPINE, AND NO WRITING, OR STICKERS. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION TO THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE REAR COVER WHICH LOOKS LIKE WATER STAINING, BUT IT IS NOT SERIOUS. (SEE PHOTOS)
A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL AND COLLECTABLE CLASSIC WHICH SHOULD BE IN EVERY SERIOUS ROCK COLLECTION.
