    even the great Filet Of Soul singer Mike Pence doesn't own a copy! So is THIS where the famous VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL took their label design? .................................................
    Filet Of Soul story known in the early days as Attila and the Huns. "While still in High School, they played in dance halls, bars, school dances and the standard band circuit". The Huns managed to make a steady and somewhat lucrative living.

    One year later, the band put up their own money and produced their first single recording. Recorded on the SARA record label, "Cheryl"(written for a friend who was killed in a car crash), backed with "The Lonely Huns" 45s sold about 20.000 copies (!) locally in the Central Wisconsin area during the bands live performances. A win in a Battle of Bands contest sent the Huns on the way to a national road tour, where the Huns met a Chicago/Milwaukee record producer Lenny LaCour.

    Lenny convinced the Huns to change their name and sign his record contract for 4, 45s and THIS LP recorded at Chicago's Chess Studios. The new Filet of Soul as the band became known, was about to embark on a two year National road tour and many more adventures which would cover a 20 year slice of time together. During this time they also traveled to the continent of Greenland for a U.S.O. show, where they met and performed for the U.S. and Danish Air forces and Prince Phillip of Wales.

    Returning home they spent nine and a half months performing in the Chicago Playboy Club where they rubbed elbows with and got to know some of the biggest names in show biz. Greats like: Sammy Davis Jr., Mick Jagger, Sony & Cher, Jimmy Durrante, Shelly Berman, Jimmy Rodgers, Kenny Rogers, Buddy Ebsen, Gabe Kaplan, Myron Cohen, Jerry Van Dyke, The Shadows of Knight and the list goes on and on.

    [isdntekvideo] The FILET OF SOUL recorded this album at Chess Studios in Chicago and eleven 45's a few of which have become collector's items.
    "Freedom" was different from a lot of era albums in that it showcased a largely original set of material including "red-hot" soul garage.

    Mostly penned by member Mike Peace, the album showcased an interesting mix of blue-eyed soul ("Treat Her Right"), top-40 goover ("Here's Where I Get Off") and tough-rock material ("Come To Me".) 
    1. As lead singer Mike Peace has a great voice that was more than capable of handling the band's diverse repertoire. It was all performed with the kind of naive enthusiasm that more than compensated for whatever performance short comings the band had and for the somewhat low-fi basement sound and primitive production - the things we love - when talking about the charm in teen-scene garage!!

    2. Interestingly virtually every one of the twelve songs has terrific potential, but these guys were at their best when playing straight ahead rockers - the wah-wah guitar propelled title track, "Big City USA", the KILLER Jimi fuzz -driven 'Standing At the Wrong Machine" and the raging garage Jimi screamer "Stepping Into Your Fire".

      There was also a nice cover of the Zombies' "Tell Her No" Certainly thoroughly charming and one that WE WANT TO continually spin. 
    3. The b&w cover is due to a color sleeve being beyond the band's means, after purchasing the rights to the album from Chess - who chose not to release it.

      Freedom (Mike Peace) - 4:25

    4. Come To Me (Mike Peace) - 1:55

    5.  Here's Where I Get Off (Mike Peace) - 2:45

    6.  Tell Her No (The Zombies) - 2:03

    7.  Sweet Lovin' (Mike Peace) 2'46

    8.  Treat Her Right (Roy Head) - 1:58

    9. Big City USA (Rich LaGault, Mike Peace) - 2:51

    10. Standing At The Wrong Machine (Lennie LaCour) - 2:25

    11. Get Ready (William Robinson) - 2:48

    12. Steppin' Into Your Fire (Lennie LaCour) - 3 44


    14. Learn How To Love (Mike Peace) - 3:13


    16. Do Your Own Thing (Lennie LaCour, Mike Peace) - 2:58
