Songs Of Yesterday

Free
15 May 2000

cover

The Bottom Line:

Time Spent; complete jam with Paul Kossoff as the last track of the last CD.

In the booklet David Clayton (Free biographer) describes the track as follows:

Produced by John Martyn and Paul Kossoff.
The full 18 minute jam which ensued after a session to re-record Martyn's May You Never, as a proposed single, was abandoned. The rhythm section was Tetsu and Simon Kirke. The final section of the performance (11:26 - 17:06) appeared on the Kossoff solo album - Back Street Crawler.
