Originally released in 1975 on the CBS record label, now available as a 2 on 1 CD. New 2004 sleevenote to be written by David Clayton - author of the acclaimed Free biography 'Heavy Load', who will hopefully also be providing some rare photographs from the original recording sessions. Andy Fraser, who cut his musical teeth as a teenager working for John Mayall, was a founder member and bass player of the late 60s and early 70s UK blues/rock group, Free. Along with Led Zeppelin and Cream, Free were among the few truly groundbreaking UK hardrock acts. Combining Blues with hard edged guitar, Free inspired a succession of countless quality British bands. The bands signature song 'All Right Now' was given recognition by ASCAP for more than one million radio plays in America alone. Fraser broke from Free on two occasions, first in 1971, going on to form Toby, with guitarist Adrian Fisher (later to join Sparks) and drummer Stan Speake. The reformation of Free early in 1972, was short-lived, for Fraser quit in July that same year. He teamed up with Chris Spedding to form Sharks, recording two albums for Island Records. With the folding of Sharks and after a brief period with Frankie Miller and Henry McCullough, Fraser created the Andy Fraser Band with Nick Judd (keyboards) and Kim Turner (drums), recording these two superb albums for CBS in 1975. As Free and Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke noted: "Fraser's bass playing on 'I'll Be Creepin' was fantastic. I always felt that, pound for pound, Fraser had the most talent of the four of us. Fraser was quite advanced for his age and, in many ways, a lot like John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin - someone who could play a number of instruments well and was a strong, but quiet influence."
