drums, "the sound of which is not clever" according to Fish. Mixing the album was also challenging, as the home recorder lacked effects and nuance. The resulting album, Rotten Soul, was generally criticized for its poor production, though it was warmly embraced by the fans. On September 9, 1999, Fish, Eider, Owen Jones, and David J. and Kevin Haskins performed at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. This was the first time the "original lineup" performed together since David J left the band in 1985. In 2000, Fish, Eider and Jones did a small tour of the US in support of the Rotten Soul album, with Steven D. Valentine on Bass. Wilson (2001-2011) Fish continued to seek a creative outlet outside of the Jazz Butcher, and in 2001 the group Wilson formed. Comprised of members of Sumosonic, and other Northampton bands, Wilson expanded on the Sumosonic sound. 2002 marked the 20th anniversary of the JBC, which the band marked by playing a handful of gigs in Germany and Belgium. In 2009, Wilson performed its last show before disbanding, which was recorded and released as No Known Predators on DVD. A one-off reunion show promoted the release of the DVD in 2012, and marked the last time Wilson would perform. Last of the Gentleman Adventurers (2012 -2013) 2012 marked the band's 30th anniversary. Fish and Eider decided to recognize the occasion with a new studio album, their first in over a decade. Not having the support of a record company, they decided to raise the funds themselves via PledgeMusic. Uncertain if they still had the fan support to raise the money, Fish was trepidatious as the fundraiser was launched. "By the time I went to bed that night," Fish recalled, "we were at something like 120 percent." Last of the Gentleman Adventurers was recorded in August & September, 2012 at Richard Formby's studio in Leeds. Tim Harries and Jonny Mattock were brought in as the rhythm section, with Formby on guitar, and contributions from Owen Jones and Sonic Boom. Liner notes were provided by Fish's friend, author and fellow Northampton resident, Alan Moore. The album sold its original pressing of 500, and another 500 were pressed. Around this time, Fire records became interested, not only in the new album, but the Butcher's entire back catalogue. Fish had been given the rights to his albums by both David Barker and Alan McGee, and
