The 2026 Martin Popoff short eBook called Movin’ On: Free and Bad Company through 1979.

In this short historical reference book, Martin Popoff uses his celebrated timeline-with-quotes format to tell the story of Free and Bad Company through to the end of the 1970s. 
All side-projects and offshoots are covered as well, along with the pre-Free history of the guys.

What emerges is an oral history but with tons of detail.

To be sure, it’s a document Bad Co. fans will return to time and time again for sequence-of-events-type verification, but it’s also the hope of the author that the mass of trivia throughout will give the reader a greater appreciation for his or her’s collection of Free and Bad Co. records.

At approximately 7900 (with over 7000 appearing in his books), Martin has unofficially written more record reviews than anybody in the history of music writing across all genres. Additionally, Martin has penned approximately 135 books on hard rock, heavy metal, classic rock, prog, punk and record collecting. He was Editor-in-Chief of the now retired Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Canada’s foremost heavy metal publication for 14 years, and has also contributed to Revolver, Guitar World, Goldmine, Record Collector, bravewords.com, lollipop.com and hardradio.com, with many record label band bios and liner notes to his credit as well.

Additionally, Martin has been a regular contractor to Banger Films, having worked for two years as researcher on the award-winning documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage, on the writing and research team for the 11-episode Metal Evolution and on the ten-episode Rock Icons, both for VH1 Classic. Additionally, Martin is the writer of the original metal genre chart used in Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey and throughout the Metal Evolution episodes.
