Free Soul 30th Anniversary Special Compilation Released!
The hugely popular compilation series Free Soul, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2024 and has a total of over 120 releases, will be releasing a special compilation CD, "Legendary Free Soul ~ Premium" (P-VINE), at a special price of 2,500 yen (excluding tax), containing over 40 songs on two discs.
This is a best-of-the-best selection that showcases the true essence of groovy and mellow Free Soul sensibility and can be considered a document of the now legendary scene's heyday in the 90s, and it has been supervised and selected by Toru Hashimoto (SUBURBIA) of course.
Free Soul has recently been well-received for its apparel collaborations with UNITED ARROWS, JOURNAL STANDARD, and others, and is once again attracting attention from a new generation of listeners. This is the definitive album from the band, and the same-concept album ``Legendary Free Soul ~ Supreme'' (Sony Music) is scheduled to be released at the same time.
