BROTHERHOOD - WHEN YOU NEED ME / EXPRESSING MY LOVE (TESSERACT) VG+ £450

Only a few of the top DJ's have this Detroit dancer from 1974, been a Soul Sam play for a couple of years now.

Rarity has prevented this being massive. An all-time favorite of mine and a truly magnificent tune.

Lots of fine marks and an edge Chip dnap. Plays brilliantly. Listen to the file below:-
