“The Robin Hood film never happened, but some pieces of music got written,” say the band. “Talybont on the album Free Hand album was meant to be part of the soundtrack.“
“Free Hand” was Gentle Giantâs seventh album, originally released in July 1975. It was the most commercially successful of the bandâs career reaching the Top 40 album chart in Billboard Magazine. It stands as the culmination of the bandâs maturity, following the successes of “In A Glass House” and “The Power And The Glory.”
Steven Wilson has remixed “Free Hand” (as he did with the reissue of The Power And The Glory in 2014). Wilsonâs remixed version of “Free Hand” will be released in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound and accompanied by custom animated visuals for each track on Blu-ray.
In addition, the original flat mix, original 1975 quad mix and an instrumental mix will all be included in a digipak CD. A double vinyl album will also be released with both the original flat mix and the Steven Wilson remixed version. The initial first pressing will include a limited edition transparent red version.
