Magazine Issue #153

August 2020

Free - 'The Northern Heat Pt. 3'

The third of four 'Fire And Water' issues working through the continuing history of the band, to mark the 50th anniversary of the albums, as they were released. This 56 page issue deals with the various releases of 'Bumpers' and 'All Right Now' as we move through April to July of 1970.

Exclusive introduction by Simon Kirke for this issue.

Here we look at the releases of the 2LP 'Bumpers' compilation all over the world. The different labels, the different covers... and the different versions of tracks included! Also press and ads from the period.

Then the big one. 'All Right Now' from every corner of the globe. Different picture sleeves, labels, edits, promo's, test pressings, 7", 12" and CD. Island Records, Philips, Festival, A&M, Polydor, Radio-Televizija Beograd. Over 200 full colour images and everything you ever needed to know -  hell, even things you didn't!

The magazine is full of new information, gathering together the history of the band in release form. Details include pressing plant variations, along with label deviations, inaccuracies, matrix numbers and sleeves. Crazy amounts of specific data from all over the world.

This is the most in depth look at this period of the Free history EVER and continues the series of issues running through until the end of August over #151, #152, #153, #154 (which is a bumper issue!)
