Lynyrd Skynyrd 1970 unreleased studio version of "Free Bird" up for auction

Backstage Auctions is excited to announce it’s quarterly auction which ends on August 8. A feature collection of the auction is the Shade Tree Records collection, which was the studio that found and signed Lynyrd Skynyrd.

These historic master tapes originate directly from the private archive of Shade Tree Records founders in Jacksonville, Florida. Most importantly they are unheard! In 1969, the studio signed Lynyrd Skynyrd, then called The One Percent. The tapes were preserved and rediscovered in 1997, highlighting their historical significance in rock music. The six tracks the band recorded with Shade Tree Records are, Need All My Friends, Michelle, No One Can Take Your Place, If I'm Wrong, He's Alive, and the iconic, Free Bird.

The tapes are estimated to sell for $75,000. There are a lot more items at backstageauctions.com so go now!
