Classic Rock, Psychedelic Rock, 1970-es album.
Remaszterizált Limited edition FEHÉR színű bakelit lemez LP újra kiadás, 2023.
One of the most critically acclaimed and cherished rock records in Sweden was the debut album from Freedom, the Stockholm band that managed to sound full-fledged and complete at once with their sunny working-class rock. Among the band’s biggest fans are The Hellacopters, who handpicked Freedom to play at their release party in April 2022. The reference points are many (Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are just two of the many names that usually come up), but no one else sounds like Freedom. The band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, formed initially by members of Procol Harum.
Ray Royer and Bobby Harrison, who had performed on the hit Procol Harum single „A Whiter Shade of Pale”, were kicked out of the Harum by vocalist Gary Brooker, and replaced by ROBIN TROWER and Barry Wilson. Royer and Harrison then formed Freedom with Steve Shirley and Tony Marsh, who was immediately replaced by pianist / organist Mike Lease, releasing two German singles and the soundtrack for the TINTO BRASS/DINO DE LAURENTIS film Attraction (original title Nerosubianco, also known as Black on White).
In 1968, Harrison entirely overhauled the group’s membership, and the new line-up began recording with more of a hard rock sound, scoring tour dates with Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull and The James Gang. They achieved renown for their version of the Beatles song „Cry Baby Cry” on their second album Freedom at Last. Further line-up changes occurred before the band finally splintered in 1972, with Harrison going on to SNAFU.
