Garethx Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Some fascinating snippets of information on Robert Tanner/The Jivers/The New Sound on John Ridley's website here, plus soundfiles of the wonderful ballad sides of the two Megatone 45s: https://www.sirshambling.com/artists/R/robert_tanner2.html Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dylan Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I've posted it up in the 'Soul Audio Source' section. thanks for posting this was the only one of the four sides I still hadn't heard yet. pretty good has the boucy almost "my girl" style bassline and nice lrics. I have to say the flip is much better to my ears. I remember seeeing this on ebay when "sweet memories" was going big on the scene and thinking i'd grab it cheap but it sold for a lot of money Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I remember seeeing this on ebay when "sweet memories" was going big on the scene and thinking i'd grab it cheap but it sold for a lot of money it's been on ebay a few times, i think it went sort of cheap (not crazy cheap) at least once. aren't there 3 robert tanner 45s on megatone? i think andy dyson told me once? I think i've only seen these two though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I only know 2 but there might be another ? there is one by melvin lewis who was also in new sounds that is documented @ sirshambling i'm sure i've miised quite a few on ebay I don't watvch it as closely as some people do.

I just looked at the sir shambling site, the "person who found him" was just the guy from this page: https://www.djmadlad.com/ I already had been in contact with some associated people, including donny brown, who cut the excellent 45 "fool i was fool I am", who contacted me a while ago after I played his record on my show to ask me to make me a recording of his 45 for him, I asked him a little bit about robert tanner and he talked about him and knowing him but I didn't pursue it because I thought that he had already been contacted, etc. i didn't go into detail about the 45s because people tend to not remember all the details about the 45s from back in the day or have anything anyways. nobody i ever interview ever has any copies of any of their records for example. it would still be interesting to get confirmation from andy whether he was talking about a 3rd robert tanner 45 or that other artist just backed by the jivers.
