Pete Shelley notes: 'More of a solo project by Francis Cookson. One side features live recording from Tiller Boys gig at YMCA London [w/] Barry Adamson, Eric Random, Francis Cookson [& Pete Shelley]. Other side studio recordings done at Graveyard Studio, Prestwich.Doodles by Francis.' The following is from a Shelley interview by C.P. Lee in N.M.E. Feb 9, 1980, although this is Lee talking, not Shelley: "The solo album is entitled `Free Agents' and subtitled `Three pounds thirty three, R.R.P' which is (not surprisingly) also the price. `Free Agents' is a collection of tracks about which the sleeve and the label give no information whatsoever. It's a montage of feedback, tapeloops and drum machines, with possibly a bit of the T.V in the background (well, it was made at home). Experiments in rhythmic annihilation and free form improvisation with just a hint of Buzzcock attitudes in the framing of several of the structures."
[Gez notes that C.P. Lee is ex-Albertos Y Los Trios Paranoias and journalist / occ.radio/TV personality.]
