Rare 1969 FIRST PRINT "BYG" label issue of the first FREEDOM album, in stereo with a unique fully laminated gatefold picture sleeve that houses this classic album. A true must-have LP, you will love this album if you like Budgie, Clear Blue Sky and Gravy Train, ...
Freedom's first album after drummer/singer Bobby Harrison totally revamped the lineup was typical heavy-blues inspired British hard rock circa 1969. IN the late '60s the English circuits were clogged with underground bands, so the group went into exile a few weeks re-locating to France and Germany, where their sound was noticed. Oddly, the label BYG, a well known Euro Jazz label based in France were starting to dabble in now sounds of underground rock, signing bands like Ame Son and Daevid Allen & Gong ...So by the end 1969 Freedom finally release their first album (never issued in the USA). Freedom at last features hard blues rock with melodic twists like in their cover of " Cry Baby Cry" from the Beatles White album! The album was an adventurous attempt to combine their powerful bluesrock sound with more traditional currents, stirring memorable elements within ... Freedom got to tour the USA supporting Black Sabbath and Jethro Tull where the 2nd and 3rd Freedom albums were released. Whilst they could sell out live shows and had toured extensively throughout their career -- the goal of a hit album eluded them and in 1972 they threw in the towel. Freedom never quite made it to the first division of British rock. Not because of lack of ability, just sheer lack of luck.
