WITH MUCH APPRECIATION TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS: If you have a question on orders received, please contact us. We take Customer Service seriously, and we want you to be satisfied. When leaving Feedback, please consider the following: eBay's policy on the 5-star rating system is anything less than a 5 reduces our standing with eBay and ultimately can affect our selling abilities if we hit 4.6 across the board. Ridiculous, but true.
Please help us strive for 5 stars through your feedback so we may continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.
We mail all paid orders out once a week on Fridays/Saturdays.

We strive to keep our shipping and handling costs as close to actual charges as reasonable. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. Please be aware we have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

As always, thank you for your support!
One of the rarest and best DC5 stompers ~ 1966 VINYL in MONO !
DAVE CLARK FIVE
TRY TOO HARD
USA - EPIC RECORDS - LN 24198
Original MONO first pressing from 1966 in CLEAN condition...
The monaural pressing offers the big bold punch in the sound production which is vastly different from the stereo release...
...Here's one of the BEST and hardest to find DC5 albums heading with the driving rocker "TRY TOO HARD" (one of their best unsung hits -- it was a hit but went by many people), as well as this great album ... loud, chuggy, and bombastic in the quintessential DC5 style, and out of ten songs, only two are ballads, with only 'Scared Of Falling In Love' a lesser cut. The other ballad, 'Today' is much better, because its moody, echoey sound, that is really 1963 all along (think something like the Beatles' take on 'Anna (Go With Him)' on their first album) somehow actually fits in with the dark folksy vibe of late '65/early '66 (think the first Jefferson Airplane album).
The harmonies, the fat guitars which they power with feedback (an update of their old sound -- so fat and bulky you'll notice the guitar tones have changed), the general saxophone din, the overpowering drumbeat, it's all there. One of the best tracks another highlight of the album, 'It Don't Feel Good' contains cool falsetto harmonies that works nicely against the fuzzed-distortion guitar. And on the title track, "Try Too Hard" with the swirling guitar line - yes, it's that clever thin guitar pattern that drives the song, not the overall mammoth assault - and it makes the song more memorable than the rest. Elsewhere, there are some clever poprock hooks on the other tracks as well which ends with the Bo Diddleyesque 'I Know' -- it's the band's first attempt at putting their own seal on the classic Diddley beat. It's actually successful.
