You know what, Free is one of my favourite bands, so, I'd love to and at some point I probably will. However, I already own them all on CD (some of them I have several copies of, regular, deluxe etc.) and I already own some of them on vinyl. Right now, other releases have higher priority.

I agree that Highway is very underrated. Not as riffy as fire and ice, it's still a damn fine album. Much more introspective than most of their other stuff.
My favourite Free album is probably "Heartbreaker"

Mmmmm... I'd love to get hold of that vinyl boxset

Been getting into a handful of Free songs in the last couple of years. I still do not own any of their albums, but at some point, I'd like to own all of them. The band had a cool sound and of course Rodgers' vocals are very cool to hear in this band.

When I first discovered Fire and Water, the first thing I thought of is that Nazareth completely stole that riff for Miss Misery

here's a comparison:

Free - Fire and Water


Nazareth - Miss Misery


It's not 100% identical, but the riff itself and the guitar sound / tone is about 95% identical. Enough that you would think that some lawyer somewhere would have thrown down to get this one into court.

Anyway, love both tracks, and I was waaaay more familiar with the Nazareth track, so when I heard Fire and Water, I said to myself "holy crap, I know that from somewhere!" ;)
