Free Appreciation Society - Magazine Issue #132

Free Appreciation Society
Magazine Issue #132
April 2014


COMING SOON...

Hot off the press is FAS issue #132. The first issue of 2014 and plenty for reading to keep you happy while the weather sorts itself out!

In the news section we have some information on what's happening with the Free boxed set that's been held up by the band for two years while everyone else gets their fan bonanza packages out. There are reviews of the new Paul Rodgers album 'The Royal Sessions' and the excellent Dave Lewis Led Zeppelin book about the Knebworth shows in 1979. There's also a review of Andy Fraser and Tobi in Japan (Andy's first show there in 42 years!)

Other features include a look at the Free appearance in US TV show 'Dexter' (You missed it huh!) and a forty year anniversary appraisal of the debut Bad Company album 'Bad Co'. Wow, its really is THAT long ago. There is also some press clips of a 16 year old Paul Kossoff out touring with his father, US Free press ads and other snippets.

The main feature in this issue is a look at the original seven Free albums and five things you should love about then along with a few things that aren't quite so good! So drag your albums out and listen to them one by one as you read along. Its 21 pages and should give everyone something to think about as they enjoy the music of our favourite band.

Finally the back page has a previously unpublished shot of Free at The Marquee in 1968 by Simon Kossoff. Its all good...

44 pages all in full colour -  Don't miss it.
