Freedom (Where Have You Gone)

Stereo/Mono promo copy. This is one of a handful of singles by a mid-Atlantic soul group produced by Vince Poncia on the obscure Map City label he founded in 1969 with songwriting partner Pete Anders. (Anders-Poncia were also known as the Tradewinds and wrote a number of great, classic songs for Kama Sutra and its associated labels until leaving to form Map City.) "Freedom" has a wonderful, complex arrangement with a great beat and superb lead vocal. The horn parts sound just like vintage Chicago, and then they throw in an electric guitar to the mix! This beautiful copy has pristine Mint audio.
