FREE MUSIC
A Birmingham-based concern. I have only ever
seen one record on Free Music listed, Birmingham Free Music's, 'Please Don't Let
Me Be Misunderstood' (CS-143; 1975). Apparently the 'A' side of the
single features Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne on backing
vocals. According to the Black Sabbath Fan Club site only one hundred
were pressed, and most of them were destroyed in a fire; the few that escaped
now command three-figure sums when they come up for sale. As the
label indicates, pressing was by C. H. Rumble. Thanks to Sam Mauger
for the scan.
