Guest Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Ian categorically states he discovered it in 1973. Battle it out on Twitter! Don Gardner was bought by me from John Anderson for £3, same night I secured an Andre Maurice - Cream Of The Crop - for 20 times the price. I remember it well as it was the very last time I visited John @ Soul Bowl. I played Don Gardner at Cleethorpes many times, it never took off.. I traveled to the Ritz one Sunday with Neil Rushton from Cleethorpes, and played Don Gardner there too. The floor emptied, as Miracles - Love Machine & Tavares were rthe biggest tunes of the day. Disheartened I sold several rare 60s tunes that afternoon Bernie williams to Colin Curtis, Inspirations, Don Gardner, Uptopias etc to Levine. If you're talking about Larry Clinton, the first copy was found of a mantle piece in a handful of records in a house in Orlando, a guy called Joe Scott took me to. The guy in the house was a pot-head and spent most of the time throwing a Kitten across the kitchen at cockroaches that would regularly appear from under his cooker. That copy, came back with me to 25 Baldocks Lane, MM were Soul Sam bought it. That copy I spent some time "lifting" the Jamie guyden logo off both labels, as Jamie Guyden was re-issueing arctic, phil la soul at the time, and Sam was twitchy about re-issues and bootlegging. So if anyone out there owns Larry Clinton with the Jamie Guyden logo lifted off, then that was the first copy ever found. If anyone doubts these facts, I suggest they talk to Soul Sam, Neil Rushton or Shelvo who I think was ther with me when the deal with Levine was made, he said I was a fool to sell them. On reflection, I think he may have been right.. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Another thing we should remember is that a lot of records were found by collectors and passed onto 'name' dj's who then claimed them as their own; The Champion was always associated with John Vincent but was actually discovered by someone from Middlesboro I believe.

I do remember buying Jimmy Thomas on Parlophone from Ady at Cheapo along with an unknown Jerry Fuller-Double Life. It ought to have gone straight to Wigan, but somehow I sold it to Ian at the Mecca and surprisingly it went big. You have to consider at the time, the Mecca's biggest tunes were things like Vicky Sue Robinson's Turn The Beat Around! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Ian Dewhirst Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Dead right Pete. Bob Slater and Jack Wardle - swapped the EP for cash and a pile of emi discs. Interesting Ian mentions 'Send Him Back' - Jack still insists he played it to Ian - who declined it then later turned up with a copy Mike Nope definitely not from Jack. I'd never heard the Pointer Sisters before Brad played it to me and even then I was unsure about it because the rhythm was weird compared to what else was happening at the time. Also I didn't think it could be that rare being on Atlantic and all. It was the Wardell Quezergue connection that made me eventually make that very, very difficult £2.50 decision LOL...... Also, it has to be said that I was never particularly over-keen on the record - too screechy for me by far but it just sort of took off from the first play...... Also another thing to remember is that there were a LOT of unplayed great records in collectors boxes at the time and that's where an awful lot of stuff came from. For instance I had a copy of Tobi Legend in '73 long before it took off @ Wigan. I can remember Snowy from Doncaster having the Steinways in his box for years before anyone knew it, the Kegsy Dean Parrish story is legend and my Carstairs came straight out of a collectors box! That was the beauty of the scene 'cos you just never knew what would turn up suddenly at any time....... Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

No, I'm claiming that. Bought from Bob from Louth on a Thursday evening gig in Lincolnshire before anyone else found it (I think Bob got it from John Anderson anyway). Heard it over the cans first, knew it was a monster, then played it over the system and realised it was utterly irresistible so did a deal with him there and then (£8 rings a bell). I think I covered it up because I thought the title was ridiculous, so I over-stickered the first copy with "I'm Coming Home" as opposed to "I'm Com'un Home In The Morn'un" which was a bit of a mouthful and frankly daft pronounciation (I think I knocked £2.50 off the price because of the title).......... Incidentally, that was the gig where I was driving back in the early hours of the morning over the fields of Lincolnshire with a guy called Kelly from Huddersfield and I came off the road straight into a wet muddy field and couldn't get the car out the field 'cos the wheels wouldn't grip the mud. So the two of us were stuck there covered in mud @ 2.00am in the middle of nowhere when some guy appeared out of the blue and between the three of us we got the car back on the road. I often wondered what the guy was doing in the middle of nowhere @ 2.00am on a Friday morning 'cos there were no towns, houses or pubs anywhere within a 10 mile radius. Just cows and mud. We ended up dropping him off 10 miles down the road but it was mud city all the way home......we were covered! Worth it for Lou Pride though. A monster!
