The high demand of this powerful progressive rock release indicates why there is limited quantity available. Original album includes a 16 page CD booklet with a history of the band, lyrics and pictures. The 3rd edition of Thinking Out Loud contains a simple folded insert.

"Freehand bears the heavy stamp of King Crimson on much of their work although guitar driven fusion outfits like Briand X, The Dregs, and Mahavishnu Orchestra are clearly major influences as well. These guys really know how to smoke!"
Ken Golden, The Laser's Edge
