Like "March", "Free For All" has been OOP since its original release and has
never been reissued. Its good to have "March" back in print, but I'd rather
have any outakes, live trax, non-album sides, remixes, etc.
I still see copies of "Free For All" at dollar stores and used CD bins. I
guess
BMG thought it was going to be as big a seller as "March" and pressed up more
copies than it sold. It was released right when dammed grunge hit and got
buried.
