Wilson Pickett – Land of 1000 Dances, 1966 7” Atlantic 584039. This is a nice example of Land Of 1000 Dances / You’re So Fine by Wilson Pickett. It was released on the Atlantic label in 1966 – 584039 – and is in EX to EX+ condition. There is a graze on the a-side label. The record will be supplied in a plain paper cover.

It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important.          

 If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating.  If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out.                                                                                                  

I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records.   

Browsing in Oldvan's Shop !

Which has over 1500 Buy It Now items listed with either free or low priced postage.  Please take a look!

Rather than click on the See Other Items link, if you click on either the blue Door symbol or the words Oldvan's Shop you will see my auction items and my Buy It Now items split into various categories which will make browsing easier! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in. And this month's Fresh Items have their own caterogy so you will not have look through all the items you may have looked at before.  

CONDITION.  The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old.   Some are older and some may be a few years younger.  I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades!

ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class POSTAGE INCLUDED in the UK.

Despite the Free P&P notice shown on this listing it is not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them and each week / month / year I pay many thousands of pounds to my local post office. But for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay.    If by some remote chance anyone out there - including the Bods at eBay who came up with the Free P&P notice - can tell me where you really can post items for free I would really LOVE to know.

DELIVERY TIMES.  Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast.   Many customers receive their item within 48-60 hours of paying, and so please disregard the 'estimated delivery time' stated near the top of this page - which I have no control over.  

I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (First Class Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery is available) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you click on the P&P Tab.       

Worldwide Postage / Shipping. 

Upate - April 2015 - Each year at this time the Royal Mail increases its prices. I have had to increase the cost of a few items by a small amount.  BUT -  new Large Letter rate means that I have been able to reduce prices for the majority of the items that I sell.    

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE FOR A QUOTE.

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING AND WITH THE NEW ROYAL MAIL PRICING BANDS MANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS WILL EFFECTIVELY HAVE FREE POSTAGE.   In the case of 7" singles there will be a small charge for a second one but third and fourth records can go for no extra money.   Also - please see my discounts for Fixed Price / Buy It Now records.

IF YOU WIN MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING as I WILL DISCOUNT SHIPPING WHEREVER POSSIBLE.   

TRACKING NUMBER.    If an item sells for more than £40, (or for a package that has a total value of more than £40) it will need to be sent with a Tracking Number - the Royal Mail's International Tracked service.  This costs an additional £5 and that price will be added so that both you - the Buyer - and myself are covered under the buyer protection policy.

PACKAGING.    Please note that all of my items are well-packed in either board-backed enveloples, thick card or in boxes, and then wrapped in good quality brown paper.   I do not make any separate charge for packaging materials - everything is included in the final price. Many of my feedback comments mention my good packaging and I will of course continue to meet my own standards.

    Payment

UK WINNERS - I still accept and am very happy to receive cheques and postal orders as payment methods, as well as PayPal.

OVERSEAS BIDDERS - Payment is to be made in GB Pounds, as the item is listed in pounds. Please use PayPal via the link on the completed auction page.  If you do not use PayPal and want to mail payment you MUST contact me before bidding so so we can agree the payment method in advance.

PayPal e-cheque Payments.   Please note that I will only send your item out once the payment has cleared.   In the past I have sent them straight away with no problem but in November 2014 I have had two 'bounce' in one week and from now on I will follow the PayPal instruction not to send the item until I am notified that is OK to do so.

I have opted not to sell to various countries due to various problems with 'lost' items in the past.  I am in fact happy to sell items to anyone in any country.  However - if you are in one of these countries and you want to purchase this item the you MUST pay for a tracked service.  If you want to bid / buy please contact me so that I can add you to my list of approved bidders.
