Free Appreciation Society Magazine - Issue #172

Free Appreciation Society

Magazine Issue #172

April 2024

This is the first of the issues that takes us through Free MK.II to Free MK.IV, and the end of the group. We start with Andy quitting, and Paul Kossoff unable to make the trips to Japan and Hungary. This magazine covers the run up to Andy's departure, Kossoff dropping out, and the introduction of new members Tetsu and Rabbit. With Paul Rodgers now taking on the responsibility of guitar duties, Free Mk.II picks up the pieces and moves on without the two original associates. This issue is stuffed with all the press and photographs from the concerts, and full reviews of the audio and TV footage available. Tickets, posters, and a complete reproduction of the Japanese programme sold at the stadium shows they did with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, including a ticket (while stocks last).

This issue checks in at 48 pages, and the programme is an additional 40 page inclusion to this magazine. So 88 pages in total! Plenty of great reading in this issue from Billy Walker, who was at the shows, and fantastic photographs of Free playing, while Typhoon Phyllis blows into the stadium in Tokyo.

A hugely comprehensive issue. Enjoy!

48 pages absolutely packed with FREE + 40 page reproduction programme.
