HI ALL...When I joined SOULSOURCE, THERE WAS A THREAD ABOUT WHO DISCOVERD THE RECORDS WE LOVE, At the time, I found it to be a good read, but since then, there has been nothing similar to replace it?
Since it stopped, there are many of you who have an interest in who was the lucky 1st person, to find this obscure record?
Last Saturday I went to the EXCELLANT STABLES EVENT Wolverhampton, and took a few records with me, a well known DJ/ COLLECTOR, had a look through, and we talked about this record on SATRIL, when out of the blue he told me who discovered the record! what he told me was totally wrong, although I did not pull him up on that fact, however it gives me a reason to try and restart this thread,
In this case I can say the DJ named did not discover it as I gave him the copy? like all the stuff that come out on the PRESEDENT LABLES that have been played originally come from 2 LONDON COLLECTERS, who bought all the good stock from the company, and then got all the other stuff, this record was given to me by JIM SILES well known TOP reggae collector, shortly after MICK SMITH introduced him to me in the mid 8t's and his knowledge on reggae is on par with Micks knowledge on rare soul, over the years people like Jim have discovered many a record, yet don't get recognition, the copy in the picture is a nice rare DEMO not from Jim but from have a guess?
