The Freedom Suite - "Log Cabin" / "Dry Spell" (1984)

Postby alexx » Tue Jul 29, 2014 6:50 pm

I'm looking for any info at all on the band The Freedom Suite. They put out one single called "Log Cabin," b/w "Dry Spell," produced by Neil Ferguson (of Donkeys and later of Chumbawumba) in 1984. The listed label is The NAIN Recording Company, but there is absolutely no paper trail of this record company existing in any other context, despite the 7" being listed as NAIN22.

I am 99% sure they are English, and 80% sure they were northern, based perhaps in or around Leeds.

Discogs listing is here: http://www.discogs.com/artist/3901719-Freedom-Suite-The
There is a mention of it at PopSike: http://www.popsike.com/THE-FREEDOM-SUIT ... 68043.html
The only sound sample of it I've found is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9sMZ_5NjM8&t=1h39m15s

I'm wanting to know anything about this record. Band members, location, whether the label was real, memories of gigs, anything. Help!
