Soulents/Silence vocalist and bassist Robert Fisher passed away in May 2000 following an illness. No more details are known. Robert had a great sense of humor, an amazing memory for details, and was a pleasure to interview for Just a Buzz #3. In 1998 he told me he had just been to see a live show by the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Issue #3 of my Just a Buzz fanzine was published in November 1998, and includes an interview with Robert Fisher and his annotated Soulents/Silence tour diary from 1964-1965. There is also a short story written by John 'Screw' Farr, a friend and schoolmate of the Soulents.
The Doc Thomas Group's 1967 Italy-only album was reissued by Angel Air in August 1998 (UK CD Angel Air SJPCD020). The album was retitled The Italian Job and paired with a 1990 Soulents/Silence reunion album, Shotgun Eyes.
