The group were US servicemen based in the UK. Their main men were Danny Leake (from Chicago) & James Wells who went on to work with Ian Levine and then Leake worked back on the Chicago recording scene.

Group landed a UK record deal (with EMI) in 1974 and had a LP & 45 out here (the 45 also escaped in Germany). Highly collectable of course (& reissued on other labels since 74).

I got a killer Leake / Levine production the other day -- LJ Johnson "staring into space" on AVI. I'm sure people here know it but the other side (imo) is crappy (I think it's the a-side). Staring into space is a killer falsetto ballad -- still good even though there's no harmony, very unique:

also, I'm looking for the 100% pure poison release on DRL if someone has one to sell / trade

that's really nice on the Demo.. I was lucky enough to get a mint issue in a store in Glastonbury last year, for a fiver...the lady actually went on-line so she could hear it while I was sifting through some other 45's I thought the game was up, but low and behold she just asked for five quid...

Record collectors, we do love a bargain!!

It's an original demo. You can see the run out stamp INT 501 A-1 in your scan, exactly how it is on the issues. There's some issue copies with a "Factory Sample Not For Sale" sticker on them but yours is the first i've seen with the demo details printed on the middle. Definitely rarer than an issue.
