Misinformation #4

They released an album titled "Not Far From Free" - Not!

 
  This misinformation is all over the internet and is even listed on the 1997 Brewer & Shipley Archive Alive CD booklet, which includes "Not Far From Free", Mercury Records 1978, in a list of their previous albums. 

So did the Archive Alive misinformation cause the internet misinformation or vice versa?  Searching the net, we did find a 1977 Mercury album titled "Not Far From Free" by the Don Harrison Band, but have no clue how that would have gotten mistaken as a Brewer & Shipley effort. 

Of all the sites that list this as a Brewer & Shipley LP, none of them are able to give a list of songs on the album.  However, several of these sites have recently taken the misinformation a step further and given the album a two-star rating.  Not bad for a fictitious album.
