MINT 1970 ORIGINAL Classic Hard Blues Throbber!
"All Right Now"
FREE
FIRE AND WATER
USA - (brown) A&M RECORDS - SP 4268
MINTY CLEAN...ORIGINAL 1970 first pressing on the old brown A&M Records label...in TOP minty clean...the album that put FREE into universal stardom; sounds better than ever...1970's FIRE & WATER was Free's third album, showing their stripped-down blues-rock honed to understated perfection... ***STILL IN ORIGINAL FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER some genius pealed some of the "All Right Now" sticker away from the outside of the cellophane, otherwise the jacket is brightly MINTY CLEAN (see details of total condition below) Includes the original printed A&M Records inner sleeve to the pressing! Free emerged from the British blues boom with a tight, muscular style that framed Paul Rodgers' throaty voice. Guitarist Paul Kossoff provides the perfect foil with incisive, measured solos exemplified by his contribution to "All Right Now." This successful single transformed the group from club to festival status. Free's unhurried, careful intensity is captured perfectly on the album's title track and "Oh I Wept," two songs charged with emotion. Where many contemporaries tended towards excess, Free implied a resonant power, particularly through Andy Fraser's liquid bass work, which weaves between the melody lines, rather than asserting them. FIRE AND WATER is a high spot in heavy rock; rather than merely asserting masculine qualities, this album also shows a rare vulnerability.- "Fire and Water" 3:41
- "Oh I Wept" 4:26
- "Remember" 4:20
- "Remember" is a reworking of an unused song "Woman by the Sea" from the Tons of Sobs recording sessions in 1968.
- "Heavy Load" 5:19
- "Mr. Big" 5:55
- "Don't Say You Love Me" 6:01
- "All Right Now" 5:32
- Free's best known track. The version on the album is longer than the single release: the second verse is repeated and the guitar solo is longer.
