Paul Kossoff & John Martyn– Time Spent (Time Away) (Full 18 Minute Version) 18:16 For die-hard fans of the band, the five-disc "Songs of Yesterday" album is a godsend. This isn't a box set for casual listeners (if you think you want the full Free immersion, this isn't going to be as effective as buying every single one of their albums). The box contains a ton of unreleased material. Very few of the tracks are actual album tracks, most are alternate mixes or alternate versions, plus there are plenty of live tracks in the mix, too. As long as you know what you're getting into, it's not a bad thing, especially since it updates the band's canon for the initiated, giving them a fresh take on familiar songs (even if the new mixes aren't necessarily better than the originals - they just sound a little brighter and more modern). For everyone else, it's a bit much, and it doesn't quite tell the story correctly, since it's really offering a mirror image, an alternate version, rather than the real thing. - AllMusic
