This is the earliest known recorded FREE live performance ever. On July 15th 1968, even before they recorded "Tons of Sobs" (October 1968), FREE did a session / audition for BBC radio. In the end, the result seemed to be ok for BBC and so it got broadcast a few days later on Top Gear with John Peel. The band recorded four songs, but "Waiting on You" has been released officially, so I had to omit it. Most of you would know it anyway. But these remaining three tracks have not been around too much I think, so here they are. Free Me stands out the most, if not only for it being an early version of the song, much faster and with a different arrangement.
