These anniversaries come around thick and fast. So here's
the next from our '50 Years Old' list. Today, in March 1969, Free's
first single 'Broad Daylight / The Worm' was released. It didn't rip up
the charts. It didn't set the world on fire - but it does feature one of my favourite
early Free songs 'The Worm' on the flipside.
'Broad Daylight' itself has always been a bit of an oddity. Somewhat jaunty and with weird time signatures it
was a one off. You can find a BBC session version of the song. Rodgers
plays bass there while Andy plays rhythm guitar. Its quite rare to find the
single these days but it does turn up. Here in the UK there are actually two
different pressings. If you can find either for under £50 in excellent condition
you'd be doing very well.
