The Free Design were a sunshine pop band with their origins in the Greenwich Village coffee shop folk scene, their USP being pitch-perfect vocal harmonies. Unfortunately, they didn’t find the success of their peers - The Association, The Mamas & The Papas, The Fifth Dimension or what have you. They were highly influential, though, with acts such as Stereolab, Cornelius, Beck and The High Llamas all citing them among their favourite bands. The effect that The Free Design had on Lætitia Sadier’s (Stereolab) vocals, for instance, is there for all to hear. 'Butterflies Are Free - The Original Recordings 1967-72' features music from the seven albums The Free Design recorded during their initial incarnation.
