Free Appreciation Society

Magazine Issue #161

March 2022

 

Free Appreciation Society Magazine - Issue #161

 

Okay, so the first half of 1971, dealing with 'My Brother Jake', 'Free Live!' and the group split in Australia has stepped up from a quadrilogy to a pentalogy! Now we have #161, which is the third part - two more to come in this section.

 

This is a huge issue. It checks in at 80 pages and covers the group history as they move through two shows and riots in Japan, and then over to Australia for four shows before the implode after the gig at Randwick Racecourse on May 9th, 1971. We have press, tickets, posters, reviews and previous unpublished photographs from Perth and Sydney. The period press enclosed includes adverts for the shows, and original articles from the time along with the new overview of the group history and what was happening.

 

Also enclosed with this issue for subscribers, and until stocks run out, there is a reproduction of the complete Fillmore East, New York, programme from the cancelled American tour, due to have taken place in May/June 1971, and an A3 colour replica of the 1971 UK tour ad. Very groovy.

 

A hugely comprehensive issue. Enjoy!

 

80 pages absolutely packed with FREE + Extras (while stocks last!)

This issue is bigger than usual and falls into the postage bands as a 'large letter' (80 pages & bonus pieces = 155g weight). Hence the different price. The fact it's heavier makes the postage almost three times as much and all that also impacts the Ebay fees for selling which are based on a percentage of the sale including any postage.

The Free Appreciation Society is one of the most respected and longest running of all the independent fanzines. Since 1979 it has continued to review and support the careers of all the Free related artists with fair and balanced critique through its subscription based magazine.


This magazine is run and written by fans of the band for fans of the band and it deals with Paul Kossoff, Paul Rodgers, Andy Fraser & Simon Kirke throughout their different groupings in all eras.


It also runs features and reviews on all the sisters and brothers of the Free unit. Back Street Crawler, Crawler, Bad Company, Sharks, The Law are all featured, as are the individuals that made up those bands and others, John Rabbit Bundrick, Terry Slesser, Snuffy Walden, et all.


The magazines breadth and depth is its strength and it has also featured Cry Of Love, Gov’t Mule, Black Crowes and a variety of other acts who name Free as an influence. The magazine is a wealth of knowledge and information if you like this type of blues based Rock.
