Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Eight. “Heartbreaker” is the sixth and final studio album by the English rock band #free #freeband , that provided them with one of their most successful singles, "Wishing Well". It was recorded in late 1972 after bassist #andyfraser had left the band and while guitarist #paulkossoff was ailing from an addiction to Mandrax (#quaaludes ) and features a different line up from previous albums. #tetsuyamauchi was brought in to replace Fraser, while #johnrabbitbundrick became the band's keyboard player to compensate for the increasingly unreliable Kossoff (singer #paulrodgers played keyboards on the previous album 1972 Free at Last). Both Yamauchi and Bundrick had played with Kossoff and drummer #simonkirke on the album Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu & Rabbit during that period in late 1971 when Free had broken up for the first time. Also, several other musicians were used on the album. The album was co-produced by #andyjohns as well as Free themselves. My copy is on #islandrecords - SW 9324 The album was, by Free's standards, a huge success. It became their third top-ten album in the UK (reaching #9), and reached No. 47 in America, which was also a considerable success for the band. Also, the single release "#wishingwell " became their third-most successful single, reaching No. 7. It is widely regarded as one of their definitive songs. Despite the success of the album and impending tour of America, it finally became apparent that the band had passed the point of no return. Kossoff being credited as an additional musician came as a shock to the entire band. #rockandroll #theseventies #heartbreaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP1ZJbuqxa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Album Number Four Hundred Sixty Seven “Free at Last” is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Free. It was recorded between Jan. and Mar. 1972, and released in May that year. After breaking up in April 1971 due to differences between singer #paulrodgers and bassist #andyfraser the band had reformed in January 1972. My copy is on #aandmrecords - SP 4349. All members of the band made a concerted effort to work smoothly and efficiently for guitarist #paulkossoff ‘s sake as he was suffering due to an addiction to Mandrax (Quaaludes). For example, in a symbolic gesture all tracks were credited to every member of the band regardless of who actually wrote them. During the period in late 1971 where the band had split, Kossoff and #simonkirke had formed a new band with Japanese bassist #tetsuyamauchi and keyboard player #johnrabbitbundrick ; Kirke asked them to join the Free tour in place of Fraser. They accepted and joined the band officially. #rockandroll #rocknroll #hardrock #theseventies #free https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDDHGIu99X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pictured, circa 1974, from left: #ianmaclagan #rodstewart #ronwood #kennyjones and #tetsuyamauchi Notice how Rod’s the only one drinking shots. When #stevemarriott left #smallfaces , remaining members Lane, MacLagan and Jones dropped the “Small” and after period of disillusionment and aimlessness were joined by Stewart and Wood, from #jeffbeckgroup , in 1969. Legend has it that Stewart met the others at a Hampstead, London, pub which aptly set seal on image of boozing, carefree camaraderie associated with band. #rockandroll #theseventies https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVTvsNFSy4/?igshid=1c8q98k7l0xia
