Winner of #179 Competition

The copy of the 70s mint condition, and still factory-sealed, 8-track 'Heartbreaker' tape goes to Addy Adams in West Yorkshire. 

So congratulations go to him, as does the tape.

Commiserations to those who entered but didn't win this time.

The question?

In which country was 'Wishing Well' re-titled 'Best/Good Wishes'? 

 

The answer to this competition was Venezuela, and this information was included in FAS #178 (P42)

 

There will be another competition for subscribers in issue #180 with copies of 'The Free Story' Australian 2CD set, and the German 2LP set WITH the Toby version of 'Travelling Man' up for grabs.

Free At Carnegie Hall - January 25, 1971. New Recording Found.

It's remarkable that anyone, anywhere, would still hold a previously uncirculated Free tape. But life is full of surprises, even almost 55 years after the actual event! Not only that, but to find a show with sound quality like this, which is pretty good, makes this even more of a treasure. It's not perfect, but everyone is audible, and it's a fair 8/10 as old audience tapes go.

 

Recorded on the American January 1971 tour (see FAS #159), this is Free promoting 'Highway', and sounding  rather fine. It's a slow start, with both 'Be My Friend' and 'Don't Say You Love Me' in the first 25 minutes, but there are some fine moments. Congratulations to the taper at the time, and thanks to Larry "Florida Kid" Clark, who just came up with this tape, and was so super-kind and generous in sharing it. He revealed that he had had this Free tape for close to 40 years, had forgotten that he even had it, and had no idea from whom he got it. Thanks also to Bob Elliott, Greg Vick and Thomas. Kudos to Goody for speed correction, flutter repair, and general 'remastering'.

You'll likely be able to find this for free download in all the usual places over the next few days, so be sure to keep your eye out for it on 'Guitars101' and 'T.U.B.E' etc.
