 Rating:  - A must for all Free fans.As a long standing Free fan (probably one of the oldest!) I was really surprised to find an album I had not got. Well, I have now and it is superb. Yes, there are several versions of Alright Now etc., but they are so contrasting in style. It is a pure gem and I for one, will be playing it all day every day. Rating:  - A great buy - if you want NINE versions of All Right Now!!!30 tracks spread over two CDs - how could any Free fan resist? Oh, hang on a minute - it's the same seven songs repeated ad nauseum. Nine versions of All Right Now, six of Fire & Water, five or Mr Big... and so on...and on. To make matters worse, of the 23 bonus cuts (the original album featured only seven tracks), a mere 5 are previously unreleased - the others have all been featured on box sets, complilations, or previous remasters of this album. What Universal SHOULD have done in collating this two disc set was make sure that ALL the extras were new to the public - the fact that they've only been able to unearth five new cuts suggests that the bottom of the barrel is now being scraped. Sadly, yet ...

Prepped by the edited single of "All Right Now" in May 1970 (Island WIP 6082), which raced up to number 2 in the charts, the album delivered what the public seemed to already ... Read More: Rating: - best album 2 start withFree have released so much material that its hard to decide which album highlighted such quality from such a group and Fire and Water is definitley the best of them all and the re-release is a welcome addition to any collector of free. Rating:  - Road to HighwayLet's get one or two things straight. Free, one of the most underrated bands of the late 60s? Oh, yes. Fire and Water, a masterpiece? No, of course not. At the time this short record represented an advance on the previous album, "Free", which itself was both an advance on the first album (Tons of Sobs) and a change of direction. Here on Fire and Water we see the band moving further outward from their blues origins, becoming now much more interested in original songwriting. The key here is heard in the burgeoning talent of Andy Fraser, 15 years of age when he became a founding member of the band in 1968, a true prodigy. The composer to Rogers lyricist, on this album he wrote three outstanding pieces: the title track, the monster single and true ... Read More: |
