Why not by The Moments the original group?
-
Didn't Kent release it as 'the fabulous impacts'?

Here's one from me.....Simon Soussan shouting to me through the toilet window at Ray Avery's in Glendale,California....Baby boy..look for WILLEEEE HUTCH 'the duck' on Dun-hill....do you know what I am saying baby boy! I had no idea....but he gave me his copy anyway! A first play at Wigan was ceremonously blown away by the Javells(thanks Dave Mac) I could have sworn my Vernon Greene on Minit and Obrey Wilson on Columbia would have scored points, only losing losing out to my DJ colleague Richard Searling playing Gary Lewis on a Liberty Demo!

Steve.....amazingly Joey's brother is one of my closest friends. She lives in Beverly Hills(as you do) and was married to Lance Rentzel(remember his Columbia 45?) I remember hearing the Instrumental to it from writer Johnny Madara in the late 70's. None of which takes anything away from the discoverer of Johanna Heatherton's classic. Arise Sir Siz!

Colin all the way

And probably the most expensive flop in Dance floor history. On a side note...Ruby Andrews was at the session in 1966!

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!

I wonder who the DJ was to initially play....... It Really Hurts Me Girl, If That's What You Wanted, Seven Day Lover,Cashing In, Jodi Mathis, Eula Cooper, Bill Brandon/Lorraine Johnson, Dushons, Admirations, Lee David, Lynn Randell, Susan Barrett, Tony Clarke, Gil Scott Heron, Eloise Laws, Anderson Brothers, Frankie Crocker? Obviously some talent in discovering that little lot.

Jack of course went onto have a career as a Whitby ticket distributor!
-
Ian categorically states he discovered it in 1973. Battle it out on Twitter!

Here's a few to chew on: inspirations- No one else can take your place. Neil Rushton to Colin Curtis Don Gardner correction- Brad to Colin Curtis other Brad to Colin Curtis finds Del Larks, Freddie Chavez, Silhouettes. A few from me...... Willie Hutch(Dunhill), Sandra Philips(Broadway), Seven Souls plus most of the Canadian schlock Todays People, Debbie Fleming, Black and Ward etc. Probably tons more, some I want to forget!

Larry Clinton. John Anderson to Richard Searling. Don Gardner by Ian Levine who never played it in 1975 at the Mecca due to the Disco influx.

John had the finance and a great contact in Bernie Binnick, a former label owner in Philadelphia(BB Records- The Showmen etc). A great link to John Lamont's House of Sounds in Upper Darby, PA Bernie generally lined up the hits with John flying in to scoop em up.

I did not give it a second thought. The disc sounded boring and stale with no real danceability. I love it today though. Funny thing is, I thought The Cashmeres on Hem at £70 was about right in 1978. I let that go to Richard Searling, while selling Bobby Kline for £3 and a certain record on Triode for £30. Hence I am no record dealer today!
-
Unfortunately I sold it for £100!

Richard is the main Audio buyer for Morrisons. Soul CDs though are in most supermarkets and I think you'll be seeing lot more. Record companies are totally focussed on shifting bulk and with the demise of the indie stores the supers will inevitably clean up.

If anyone sees a Gene Chandler Stateside demo among many others, could they contact Weatherfield police station. Much appreciated.
