Guest wrightypaul36 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 WAS TALKING TO A MATE AT THE WEEKEND,TELLING HIM A STORY ABOUT CLEETHORPS ALLNIGHTER AT THE WINTER GARDENS.THIS WAS AROUND 1979/80.I WASNT A REGULAR AT CLEETHORPS BECAUSE OF WORK COMMITMENTS.ANYWAY I WAS TALKING TO A GUY ABOUT RECORDS.HE ASKED ME WHAT WAS ON MY WANTS LIST,I TOLD HIM AMONG OTHERS I WAS AFTER A COPY OF YOUNGBLOOD SMITH.HE SAID HE WAS GETTING A SECOND COPY AND I COULD HAVE THE ONE HE HAD FOR A FIVER. NICE ONE,SO I GAVE HIM MY ADDRESS AND WHEN I GOT HOME ON THE TUESDAY AFTER WORK,THERE WAS A NEAR MINT COPY OF YOUNGBLOOD SMITH ON A VERVE DEMO I POPPED A FIVER ALONG WITH A THANK YOU NOTE AND SENT IT OFF TO HIM.I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN AFTER THAT AND COULDNT EVEN TELL YOU HIS NAME OR WHERE HE WAS FROM,BUT WHO KNOWS HE MAY BE ON HERE READING THIS IF YOU ARE THEN THANKS AGAIN SO I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ANYONE ELSES SIMILAR STORIES.

Soulboy69 Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Wow, how nice is that! He doesn't have a spare copy of the Constellations "I Don't Know About You" that he can sell for a fiver by any chance?

YES WELL NICE SOULBOY,I WONDER IF HE HAS EVER TOLD THE STORY OF HOW HE SENT A BLOKE HE HAD JUST MET SAID RECORD.I USED TO DEAL WITH ANOTHER GUY AROUND THAT TIME,WHEN ORDERING OVER THE PHONE IN CONVERSATION HE WOULD MENTION CERTAIN RECORDS HE HAD JUST GOT IN.IF I HADNT HEARD THEM HE WOULD SEND THEM WITH MY ORDER ON A SALE OR RETURN,I ENDED UP KEEPING MOST OF THEM.
