$

37

This is a super rare clean original mono pressing still in shrink wrap of first album by the British invasion giants, The Dave Clark Five, Glad All Over. This is the super rare first no instrument cover. The LP includes seven group written songs including title track which was a monster hit and knocked Beatles , I Want To Hold Your Hand, from the top of the U.K. Charts, and Bits And Pieces. The cover includes rare Bits and Pieces hype sticker. The LP is rare not just because  of the cover and its condition but because this LP was only released in mono and to this day never released in its entirety in true stereo, only a few songs as part of a 1970s compilation set. The so called stereo counterpart of this LP was only released in re channeled fake stereo.

The LP is in near mint condition and plays very nicely. The cover is still in shrink wrap although it has come loose at the bottom. The cover is in excellent condition and would have been graded near mint if not for some slight rub wear along bottom of about an inch at the mouth where shrink wrap loosened. All corners are quite sharp. The spine and seams are strong with little or no rub wear except as noted. The front and back cover are exceptionally clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine 

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened. 

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a  person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
