DEE CLARK

How About That

Original UK LP released on Top Rank Records in 1960. Front-laminated sleeve with flipbacks on rear.

LP2002A-1U   /   LP2002B-2U

Dee Clark's second album is a significant advance on its predecessor, a bold and hard-rocking collection of tunes weighted heavily toward stomping rock & roll, and including one killer conceptual track called "The Convention" that's a pounding, driving account of the story of R&B and how it became mainstream music. Clark has fewer originals here, but the overall song quality is equal to or better than his debut, and he's stretching that high-tenor-cum-falsetto voice very successfully into some soulful permutations of rock & roll.

But even with that emphasis, he finds room on side two of the original LP for some horn-driven R&B of a slightly older school, and shows off the most lyrical side of his singing on the Gershwins' "A Foggy Day," plus a superb cover of "Moonlight in Vermont," and closes with Sam Cooke's "The Time Has Come." The latter, in 1960, was an almost preternaturally early acknowledgement of Cooke's ability as a songwriter, from one R&B star to another. Clark does well by the song, as he does by everything on this record. He could do it all, whatever was expected of a top R&B singer circa 1960, and on this album he pretty much did it and a little more, too.

It's worth tracking down and listening to a lot, and anyone who likes Jackie Wilson or the young Clyde McPhatter can safely add another star to this record's rating -- Clark's voice bore an uncanny resemblance to both, even if he was never as celebrated as those two other legends.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
