Free Appreciation Society
Magazine Issue #170
September 2023 Issue
Okay, #170 has just gone
into the mail. This is the forth of five issues dealing with the reformation of
the group in 1972, after they'd officially split in May 1971, and all done some
solo stuff. The final piece of this section will come out in September.
The magazine here deals with
the group, who now return to the UK after the disastrous American tour, and the release of 'Free
At Last'. They actually came home and pretty much broke up again, but there
were Japanese shows upcoming, so they briefly got together to try and work out
the problems what had made such a nightmare of playing in the USA. However, all
was not well and Andy decided he'd had enough, and quit just before the group
were due to fly out. This section is covered here, and the story of 'Free At
Last' concludes with Andy leaving. There is lots of press, reviews, press
releases from the UK and America, and a very interesting interview with Fraser
that was done during the US tour.
The magazine also begins our
journey through the releases from the period. The 7" 'Little Bit Of
Love', and the start of the 'Free At Last' album issues. Also
featured is the Paul Rodgers 'I Just Want To See You Smile' single, that
was released in Jamaica. Detailed information on the releases from the UK,
France, Japan, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, Israel, Brazil and more.
With promotional variations and test pressings included.
52 pages here, many in
colour. Lots of new information, photographs and clippings, and many things
never used, or documented, in the FAS before. I hope you enjoy it.
