One of the defining anthems of the Chicago house explosion and the UK's Second Summer of Love, Joe Smooth's "Promised Land" remains an essential piece of dance music history. This UK 7" single features the Radio Mix backed with the Underground Mix, both produced, written and arranged by Joe Smooth with vocals from Anthony Thomas. The track's gospel-infused positivity and driving house production made it a crossover hit that continues to resonate with collectors of original house music pressings.
