An incredible opportunity presents itself with this highly collectible 1971 vintage 45 rpm single from one of Britain's most cherished entertainers. This original UK first pressing is presented on the traditional black and silver Columbia label (Catalogue No. DB 8840) and features the robust solid centre design. Making this specific item completely unique is the front of the sleeve, which has been personally autographed by the comedy legend himself with his iconic catchphrase signature, reading "Happiness Always! Ken Dodd".

This release captures the beloved Liverpudlian vocalist delivering two wonderful traditional pop performances. The top side features the soaring ballad "This Is Our Dance", which is beautifully backed on the B-side by the melodic track "There Are Secrets". The single comes housed in a vibrant red and white Columbia company paper sleeve, which has been neatly annotated with the song title and catalogue number on the front for easy archiving.

We have graded this item as Very Good Plus/Excellent (VG+/EX). The autographed company sleeve has been well preserved, remaining remarkably clean and crisp for its age. The vinyl disc itself is in stunning condition, showing a bright, glossy lustre and exceptionally clean surfaces that deliver a premium listening experience with minimal background noise.

Autographed pieces from this era of British entertainment are increasingly difficult to source in such fine condition. For collectors of classic UK pop memorabilia or fans of the legendary Scouse showman, this authentic, hand-signed archive piece represents a fantastic addition to any collection.
