Free Appreciation Society

Magazine Issue #173

June 2024

Free MK.II return to the UK from shows in Japan, and Hungary on July 31st. Kirke goes into hospital and Kossoff rejoins them to make it Free MK.III. This issue covers PK's return to the group, and the start of the UK tour in September, which was cancelled after six dates. Koss had had a seizure during the soundcheck at Newcastle City Hall on September 15th 1972, the day after his 22nd birthday. The group come back to London as shows are rescheduled for October, and spend a few days in the studio, where they begin work on new material.

The magazine features all the press from the period, which has interviews with Paul Rodgers, Rabbit and Tetsu, tour announcements, press releases, album ads, gig reviews and so on. There are some excellent photo's from the press gatherings, and from the shows. Also there's all the newspaper headlines from the Newcastle incident, and complete information on the recording that was done after that, which includes 'Wishing Well' and 'Come Together In the Morning', tape by tape, multi-tracks and quarter inch mix reels.

This magazine checks in at 52 pages, Plenty of great reading in this issue from the period press. The centre includes a superb full colour photograph of the older line-up from an Italian magazine article, which sarcastically reports that Free have cancelled their third trip to Italy! A hugely comprehensive issue on this phase of the group. Enjoy!

52 pages absolutely packed with FREE, and nothing but Free.
