Fantastic read. I will forward this to my friend Odell Jones of the Steptones...he did not remember to have cut "I`ll Never Forget You" when I first asked him about it.

If you are talking about the Austrian (Soul Mafia) Bootleg, that was done 2002/3. I still remember going mad at the guy when he while visiting the Hip City told me he was going to boot said record. I was offered a Hamilton Movement last year for over 2K which was why I declined although I agree its a fantastic Soul record and I still love it. But yes, definitely hammered to death me thinks.

which if I remember right I helped you selling to a fellow soulie overe here in Berlin as I was too stint at the time to buy it myself. Sth. I still regret up to today as its the last Diamond Jim record missing.

Only on the issue, the demo (which is even rarer) states "Soul Brothers Six". Old spin of mine that I gave a spin two weeks ago at VaVaVoom to a good response. I sold a spare last year to a very good friend of mine for around 250 UKP. Flipside features one of the very very best deep Soul tunes (in my collection).
What is even more interesting is the fact that this copy seems to have found its way from fluid Thailand to sunny Florida without having seemingly belonged to one of the group members whereas all copies before and in circualtion came from the group except for the very first one Shifty once turned up (and sold to Soul Sam who then sold it on to Tim Brown) and the two copies previouly on ebay (with the first being the one butch bought). Amazing really I must say bearing in mind the small quantity and the history of the record.
if you don`t find one you might as well check out Curtis Smith The Living End on Essica as some issues do feature (miss-titled) exactly said song on the reverse...and I would be very much surprised if both artists were not one and the same person.
Hi Nocker,

Del Capris Speak To Me Of Love # 1
Sensations Demanding Man # 2
Little Stanley The Stran / Third Wish You Gotta Believe In Thine Yourself # 3
JJ Barnes Everytime I See You I go Wild / Rita Wirght Where Is The Love # 4
Thanks for the appreciated interest and I hope you enjoy the 2009 anniversary record..personally think its brilliant
