(3 out of 5 stars)
"For those of you that are unfamiliar with the band,they were a decently talented UK progressive band that existed from 1967-72.Included two former members of Procol Harum which were drummer Bobby Harrison and guitarist Ray Royer.Soon,Royer left and was replaced by Roger Saunders.The trio was then rounded out with bassist Walter Monagham.This self-titled lp was originally released in 1970.Most promising cuts are "Nobody","In Search Of Something" and the band's namsake "Freedom"(perhaps the CD's best track).Noticed that "Frustrated Woman" sounds like a reworking of the Standell's "Dirty Water".Some nice tight harmony vocals here from all THREE members.Should appeal to fans of Cream,Traffic and maybe some fans of Zeppelin and Sabbath."
