Free Peace Sweet is the third studio album by Dodgy. The track "Homegrown" was given the same name as the band's previous album.
It was released on 17 June 1996 through A&M. The vinyl version has two extra songs: "Is It Me" and "Grateful Moon". The album's title is a pun on three-piece suite. Mercury was planning on releasing the album in the US in March 1997, before being pushed back to May to eventually being shelved. Dodgy's co-manager Dave Crompton commented that Mercury planned on releasing a single first but the band was against it. "We think their attitude was, 'We'll put it out and see what happens,' and we said, 'We want to have a career. We've got one in England and Europe, and we want one in the U.S. as well.' " The band eventually parted ways with Mercury. Crompton and partner Andrew Winters were aiming to find a new label to release the album in the summer.
Free Peace Sweet charted at number 7 in the UK. By March 1997, the album had sold 400,000 copies in the UK.
All songs written by Nigel Clark, Mathew Priest and Andy Miller.
