FREE ACTION INC. One of the great German psych bands, although about as well-known outside of Germany as Udo Dirkschneider (Who!??). So who is the mysterious Eddie Korsche of the album title? Well, he was the owner of the Austro-Italian budget label Help! and had nothing whatsoever to do with the making of this album. So there you go, another piece of useless information to enlighten your friends with. 1970: Free Action Inc. - Plays Eddie Korsche Rock & Blues - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRr_NPiri8w

FREE WILL A superb singer and an amazing rendition of River Deep, Mountain High. What more could you ask for? It's almost enough to make you part with your hard-earned cash of your own free will. Well, at least until you see how much they're asking for this rare psychedelic gem on Amazon. |

THE FREEBORNE A Boston-based band whose band name was inspired by the movie Born Free, although The Freeborne didn't have the lion's share of the East Coast airwaves, being up against such notable purveyors of the "Bosstown Sound" as Ultimate Spinach, Beacon Street Union and Orpheus. The Freeborne had long-term plans to record three albums together, but ultimately, the band fired their manager before being promptly dropped by their record company, bringing to an end The Freeborne's dreams of stardom and general hedonistic rock star excess. 1968: The Freeborne - Peak Impressions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOIUoyIKB0s

FREEPORT A Cleveland, Ohio psych band who went through a couple of incarnations (namely, Paper Sun and Freeport Express) before finally arriving at Freeport for the recording of their one and only self-titled album in 1970, when they were gone like the wind by the end of the year - leaving Freeport virtually no time to enjoy the Easy Living, hard loving lifestyle of rock star success and excess. Freeport sound like a proto version of Uriah Heep. In other words, they're 'eavy, but not so very 'umble. 1970: Freeport - Freeport - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1lChOO9v4E

FRIEDHOF Friedhof (English translation: Graveyard) were a German underground band who recorded their one and only psychedelic album in a dark and gloomy basement, so if you're looking for some darkly atmospheric, raw and earthy Krautrock, then you've come to the right place. 1971: Friedhof - Friedhof - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wim5risAjQ

1970: The Ghost - When You're Dead - One Second - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kxKT6ZtYAcRCxj0aV-A0jiTku8Kljj4L8 THE GHOST The Ghost briefly appeared like a spectral vision in Birmingham, England in the late-1960's. Their hauntingly-titled one and only album "When You're Dead - One Second" rose from the grave in 1970 before the band just as quickly disappeared in a wisp of hazy smoke like a phantom apparition. The spooky album cover showed a ghostly translucent image of the five-piece band gathered around a large tombstone, headed by a Celtic Cross. Right from the first few opening bars of "When You're Dead", you can tell we're going to be in for a weird and wonderful wild psychedelic ride here. This acid-drenched music is very reminiscent of the American band H.P. Lovecraft. In fact, The Ghost have such a strong resemblance to the American West Coast sixties sound that it's hard to believe they could be from the gloomy backstreets of Birmingham in England. This "phantasmic" bunch of Brummies really know how to Rock! The Ghost are listed as Prog Folk on ProgArchives, but make no mistake, this opening number sounds like a wild Psychedelic Rock trip back in time to the flower-power freeway of love in San Francisco in the swinging sixties. In complete contrast, the second song "Hearts and Flowers" is a gorgeous Folk Pop refrain that could quite easily have been recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary or The Seekers. It's a truly beautiful melody floating along on a gentle wave of gorgeous guitar strings and uplifting harmonies. This stunning song - featuring Shirley Kent on lead vocals - is a real gem that shines like a sparkling diamond and would have had tremendous hit potential if it had ever been released as a single. We're back on the magic bus again for "In Heaven", and if you love the sound of H.P. Lovecraft, then you'll be "In Heaven" too when you hear this absolutely fabulous psychedelic sixties song. It's groovy, baby! There's a return to gentler Folk Rock territory for "Time is My Enemy", a poignant song about the passing of the years which conjures up fond memories of the classic years of Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention, although this is more of an unconventional slice of Psych-Folk. Shirley Kent sounds in magnificent voice on this hauntingly- beautiful song. It's a compelling blend of Sandy Denny's "Fotheringay" and "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", given a liberal psychedelic sprinkling of glowing rainbow colours. This is turning out to be a very good album indeed! Continuing with the intoxicating blend of storming Hard Rock songs and gentle Folk Rock refrains comes "Too Late To Cry", a rousing rip-roaring rocker, featuring an extended psychedelic wah-wah guitar trip back to the Streets of San Francisco in the hippy sixties, or the wild and untamed streets of Chicago in the case of H.P. Lovecraft. We're onto Side Two now "For One Second", which opens as a gently laid-back country-tinged melody, but wait one second because there's a surprise in store when the song metamorphosises from a caterpillar into a bright and beautiful psychedelic butterfly for the storming crescendo of acid-soaked guitar reverb in the fabulous finale. And now we come to The Ghost's magnificent magnum opus, "Night of the Warlock", a spirited Demons and Wizards song that barrels along at pell-mell speed, taking the listener on a crazy helter-skelter ride in a headlong rush towards psychedelic nirvana. This is like a maniacal harum scarum version of "Season of the Witch", wound up to 99 and given an energetic burst of adrenalin and raw power. We're off to meet the "Indian Maid" next, so you can expect to hear some exotic far-eastern vibes from the Indian sub-continent, although the song is still firmly rooted in western psychedelia. Either way, it's another great song wherever you are in the world. It's time now to mount the battlements for "My Castle Has Fallen", a storming medieval ballista firing a relentless percussive artillery barrage of pummelling Psychedelic Rock! There's no let-up in the incredible pace either because "The Storm" is on the way, a thunder and lightning display of sonic energy to rattle the windows and light up the sky. It's not all Crash! Bang! Wallop! though, because there's a return to gentler climes for "Me and My Loved Ones", a bright rainbow sunburst of groovy psychedelic colours to close the album in magnificent style. Wait a minute though, we're not quite through yet, because there's the groovy sixties number "I've Got To Get To Know You" added as a bonus track. The Ghost has risen from the grave of the psychedelic sixties era and reappeared as an awesome apparition fifty years later on ProgArchives. "When You're Dead - One Second" is an album full of haunting Folk refrains and spirited psychedelic acid trips. All in all, it's a heavenly album full of devilishly good songs. |
