        52 Year old ORIGINAL BRITISH INVASION STOMPER!

          CANADIAN 6000 RAINBOW CAPITOL ARTIFACT

               THE DAVE CLARK FIVE

                 BITS AND PIECES           

              CANADA - (rainbow) CAPITOL RECORDS = T 6068 - MONO

VERY RARE in virtually ANY condition... this is the HIGHLY collectible 1964 Capitol 6000 series FIRST Dave Clark 5 album with a completely different custom cover to the USA edition, a cover you get nowhere else! The rainbow Capitol 6000 series Lp's are sought by serious collectors... the LP was released on Epic Records in America under a different title!

 *****The ORIGINAL 6000 series Canada release offers a TOTALLY DIFFERENT GROUP COVER front and back! = the vinyl in glorious MONO ...the MONAURAL release suits the gritty driving sound perfectly with the punchy (mono) production, much different from stereo ....

1964 MONO first pressing vinyl... the first album by the mighty DC5 that thrust them next to the Beatles for the royal British crown of rock & roll ...

The Dave Clark Five's first album was a pretty exuberant slab o' vinyl that rocked pretty hard for the most part, paced by the three Top 10 singles "Glad All Over," "Do You Love Me," and "Bits and Pieces." It was a huge seller as well, peaking at number three and remaining in the charts almost as long as the albums by their chief competitors of the era, the Beatles. And it does have cool original songs that does not show up on their greatest hits: the solid pop/rocker "I Know You," the raucous Twist and Shout styled "No Time to Lose," and the surprisingly savage "Chaquita," an inversion of "Tequila" with its snaky, growling guitar riffs and dirty sax.

The Dave Clark Five released five albums in 1964, the first two releases coming only two months apart from one another. This first release, "Glad All Over" is their strongest long player from '64. The best track is the bombastic stomp and echo of "Glad All Over". Also worthy of mentioning is the chaotic "chain gang" backing vocals during the cover of "Stay" is certainly a highlight. But again the surprise of the album is the swampy jungle groove and rattlesnake shake in "Chaquita" that could have fit rather nicely into a Tarantino movie. Lastly, not forget the foot stompin' rock & roll injection: ‘Bits & Pieces’.

CONDITION: The cover: The thick cover is VG++, still very colorful as it was in 1964, ther is only very slight shelf wear starting (see photo - strong! copy!) has a light handling crease-line  (not bend) at bottom left corner (not pronounced that it goes through on back - just lightly)... There are No split seams, no bends, no writing ...it's the RARE unique custom cover that was only supplied in Canada on rainbow Capitol of the 6000 series!

The vinyl: rated: VG++ visual; both sides are glossy smooth having a few inner sleeve type low-key paper scuffs, nothing of great issue, so expect the deep groove pressing to play excellent.. both rainbow Capitol labels are clean

52 year old **MONO**6000 series original with unique custom designed cover ~~ HIGHLY collectible!  

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
