Infos
Originally scheduled for release October 12th 1973 but delayed until January 1974 due to vinyl shortages.
Limited to a numbered edition of 50,000 copies. Promotional and advertising material indicated that plates/film used to make the sleeves would be destroyed following completion of the limited run. Nevertheless unnumbered copies continued to be available after the 50,000 run.
The gatefold sleeve was printed with incorrect catalogue number: ISL D3 on the back cover and the spine. Later copies include a small sticker on the back of the gatefold covering the incorrect catalogue number with the correct number: ISLD 4. The incorrect catalogue number on the spine remained unaltered. Inner sleeves however, were printed with the correct catalogue number from release.
This release with correct cat.# ISLD4 is here: Free - The Free Story
Both inner sleeves are the same providing the album's track listing and a Free discography. They indicate that:
Side 3 track 4 (C4) is performed by Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu and Rabbit
Side 3 track 5 (C5) is performed by Peace (previously unreleased)
Side 4 track 4 (D4) Heartbreaker is recorded live at Portsmouth Guildhall, October 7th,1972 (this is also previously unreleased although not stated on the inner sleeve)
Initially the inner sleeves were square cut across the top. Later copies have a 20cm thumb notch.
Labels are usually smooth and flat, however ridged labels exist which can be randomly used on any side of disc 1 & 2 and not consistently matched with flat/ridged labels on the other side of the disc.
.

Bottom centre of back cover states, "THE FREE STORY" IS A LIMITED EDITION. THIS ALBUM IS NUMBER ******
