Hailing from Chicago South Shore Commission signed with New York-based Scepter Records, recording for their Wand subsidiary.

Their biggest hit was “Free Man” released in 1975, and they charted twice more in the next year with “We’re On The Right Track” and “Train Called Freedom”. They released one album the self-titled South Shore Commission, this long player was recorded in Philadelphia with Bunny Sigler and also in Hollywood.

Tom Moulton remixed freeman with the original reference disc cut on a 12″ rather than a 7″ - now there has been many a disco dedbate as to whether a 12 inch of this track actually exists. In an interview with Al Kent of www.millliondollardisco.com according to Tom there was never a test pressing, supposedly 10 acetates were given to DJs like David Mancuso, Walter Gibbons and merely a handful of others.

In the same interview Tom reckons Private Stock made the first move to release a 12 inch promo record for DJs with swearin’ to god (see previous post).

This is meant to be the unreleased acetate version, then again who knows, what we do know is it’s a real disco belter…

Here we have a ssshhhh under the counter disco re-edit of the highest calibre. This track really is the business. Great string arrangements and vocals combine to make it a killer track with a deadly intro that just builds and builds.

Originally released via Epic on a promo only 12” single. A Love Unlimited exclusive…enjoy.
