Chris Freeman

Chris is an Aussie guitarist of considerable repute.  It's only when you realise that the top of his middle fret finger is missing that things take a step up.  Wow - if we're talking about guitarists disabilities, that's a biggie.  To get around this problem, he had a metal prosthetic limb specially made up - problem solved.  The image of this is best seen on the 'Silverfinger' cover.  My advice is to listen first to the album with John Shaw - talk about a psychedelic wigout.

    This are real gems, really enjoying them right now!

    Any chance of getting the tracks names as printed on the labels? My ID3 Tags OCD is hitting high levels with this wonderful records lacking titles and any information online... I could only recognize Für Elise so far!

    Thanks in advance for this beautiful records!

    I can see this is a few years old but thank you for posting this. Chris was a friend when I was at uni and when my copy of the record with John Shaw got broken I was pretty upset. Such a good muso. We used to hang out a lot. Met him when he was playing at the Prahan markets - just him and the synthesizer- which was very new back then playing this stunning music.
