Freedoms Children - Astra CD

Hailed worldwide as the seminal South African 70s psych classic album Astra features the definitive Freedoms lineup: Ramsay MacKay, Julian Laxton, Brian Davidson and Colin Pratley.

It all began one manic weekend in 1970 in a recording studio in Johannesburg and when it was over Astra, one of the greatest rock albums to ever come out of South Africa, had been born.

While the cream of the countrys finest bands were strutting their stuff at a rock festival at the Out of Town Club a few kilometres away, Freedoms Children were hard at work laying down the tracks for what was to become their seminal album a powerful symbol of the rock creativity that flourished in South Africa in the early 70s.

It took three days to completed album, from recording to final mix, but little did anyone involved in the project realise then that what had happened over that magic weekend would live on more than three decades later.
