Description

From Wikipedia:
Dave Clark & Friends is a British album from 1972. It is partly an album by the Dave Clark Five, and partly a solo project by singer Mike Smith and producer Dave Clark. It contains the Dave Clark Five's 1969 UK Top 50 hit "Put a Little Love in Your Heart".
The album was created to fulfill a contract between Dave Clark and EMI Records after the Dave Clark Five had already broken up. The LP therefore contains five tracks originally released under the band's name ("Southern Man", "Bring It On Home To Me", "Paradise", "Won't You Be My Lady", "Put A Little Love In Your Heart"). The others were recorded as a studio project with Eric Ford (bass guitar) and Blue Mink band members guitarist Alan Parker and backing vocalist Madeline Bell.
All the songs were sung by Mike Smith, who also composed half of the album. Dave Clark is listed as a co-writer of the songs, but it is generally believed that he was only involved in the production side. Although Mike Smith has dodged questions about whether Clark was involved as a writer, he confirmed in 2003 that he was not. The second part of the record contains cover versions of some successful songs such as "Southern Man" by Neil Young, "Bring It On Home To Me" by Sam Cooke, "Draggin' the Line" by Tommy James, "Signs" by Five Man Electrical Band and "(If Paradise Is) Half as Nice" (under the title "Paradise") by Amen Corner. 
Disc is VG+.
Cover is VG but the glue has given up the fight on the top and bottom edges and the original owner tried (not very successfully) to repair with clear tape.  The good news is that there are no split seams, the tape has not yellowed and may be removable. The to cover can be glued.  There are also a couple small, partially removed stickers in the upper left. Also, there is no writing, and it is not a cut out.
Original EMI paper inner sleeve is VG+, no seam splits.  The inne sleeve advertises LPs released by, among others, The Beatles, Paul McCartney and The Hollies.
