Free Appreciation Society Magazine - Issue #174


Free Appreciation Society

Magazine Issue #174

October 2024

This issue covers the final section of the Free MK.III October 1972 UK tour, some dates added and rescheduled after Paul Kossoff was ill in Newcastle on the September leg. In fact these are the last twelve shows of this line-up, and the final performances of Free with Paul Kossoff. There is press and photographs from a number of shows, and reviews of the tapes from Redcar, Bracknell and Bristol. Following this we pursue Free into the Basing Street studios, where they are now working on what will become the 'Heartbreaker' record. This includes a tape by tape analysis, from multi-tracks and quarter inch mix reels, of the sessions up to the end of the month.

The magazine features all the press from the period, which has, tour announcements, concert adverts, tickets, gig reviews and so on. There are some excellent photo's of the 'suited and booted' Paul Kossoff, with the white Fender Stratocaster he used on this final section of the shows, and looks at the 'Gibson neck break' in Newcastle on the final gig.

This issue of the FAS checks in at 48 pages, Plenty of great reading in this issue, including from the period press. The centre includes a superb  photograph of Koss with suit, waistcoat and tie - Strat in hand. Enjoy! And no, it's not the same cover as FAS #173 - look carefully!

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