We're not sure when, but this gem from Don Gardner has been reissued
digitally. It was originally released in 1969, the same year that his
hyper rarity "Cheatin Kind" was issued on Sedgrick. We've read that Gardner sent the tape to Sedgrick owner James Vanleer and heard no more about it, so even he was unaware that it had been released.
Only one original of the Sedgrick record is listed on
Popsike
(sold for £7,626 in Apr 2014) and legend has it that rare soul dealer John
Manship sold a copy for around £8k to an Australian buyer which was run
over by a truck when being delivered and smashed. He had it sent back and
framed it, presumably, he was covered by insurance to take it so lightly?
This one is peanuts in comparison and can be found on original vinyl for £30-£40 unless you want a minter.
We did a feature on
Don Gardner
in 2020 if you want more info on him. This track was included
then.
The B side "There Ain't Gonna Be No Loving" is a funky affair. The killer A side "Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy" was written by Morris Bailey who
was a member of Crystal Clear who we posted a few weeks ago as their "Stay With Me" has been reissued by Soul Brother.
