Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

1971 original UK PROGRESSIVE HARD ROCK

= ARCHIVE *MINT* =

FREEDOM

THROUGH THE YEARS

USA - Cotillion Records -

"ARCHIVE" MINT TOP COPY!

Well, here's one...you NEVER see without delete marks and such, here a TOP MINT survivor = thee Original 1971 first pressing in MINT clean all over = and nice THICK gatefold cover ...TOP MINT 40+ year old pressings like this are getting hard to come by and getting expensive...

This '71 offering features a talented & often underated UK band, FREEDOM. Alternately psychedelic, hardrock and progressive, the guitar trio deserved to reach a wider audience than they did. Led by two former members of Procol Harum, FREEDOM found success in Germany & Italy with a sound that appealed to a generation of rock fans with first their heavy CREAM blues edged sound that, in a couple of years, smoothed and progressed into a more sophisticated sound using backdrop melloton in places using textured guitars and melodic hardrock passages within good lengthy self compositions which got them a record deal in the USA ... FREEDOM made two earlier albums in '69 & '70.

Freedom: Walter Monaghan (vocals, electric piano, Mellotron, bass guitar);
Bobby Harrison (vocals, drums, percussion);
Roger Saunders (guitar, electric guitar).
