Reviews
1973 single, both songs are taken from the album THEY ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT.
Record plays with faint surface noise and no skips. Includes standard Epic sleeve.- Labels are nearly identical to the Terre Haute pressing.
Look at the positioning and boldness of the ℗. It is pretty obvious distinction if your paying attention. - Released in late July 1973, the single release of 'Free Ride' (Epic 5-11024 US) was the chart follow-up to Winter's smash hit 'Frankenstein' (Epic 5-10967 US), both appearing on his album 'They Come Out At Night' (Epic KE31584 US). Noteworthy is that this single version is distinctly different from the more widely recognized album version in that there is a lot more synthesizer activity in the 11024 single version; it's much busier, and this may or may not have been a turn-off to the average listening audience, as the album cut got much more airplay, and is a staple in the classic rock format these days. It also has re-appeared in radio and television commercials in the past decade. One of Edgar and Rick's most successful efforts.
