I bought a compilation of his early material called "Early Morning Rain" from a second-hand record store in Croydon called "Beanos" (Croydon is in Surrey,England!) This was in 1989. I bought it on the strength of being familiar with other interpretations of "Early Morning Rain" and "For Lovin' Me", particularly Elvis Presley's version. Afraid to say, I wasn't a fan immediately after hearing these. It took "The Mountain's and Maryann" and one or two others to really win me over!
