The Dave Clark Five are one of the best bands ever yet also one of the most underrated. The Rock and Roll hall of fame finally recognized them almost 50 years later.Some of the stupid bands they put in haven't held the test of time like the "DC5." Everyone loves the song "BECAUSE"."TRY TOO HARD" and "ANY WAY YOU WANT IT" are as good of hard rock songs as anybody."YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES",is such a fun song,you just cant beat it. "COME HOME" expresses perfectly what every man feels when he is away from his girl.And how 'bout "CATCH US IF YOU CAN"? No one will deny it's universal appeal for champions of all kinds. And the rest of their "HITS", nobody changes the station when they are played on the oldies station.They don't have as many good songs as the Beatles or the Stones.They didnt change with the times like the Kinks,but the dozen or great songs they did record are stands outs on any playlist. They are well represented on this CD along with a few surprises.A+for sure.Read full review
What a great album. The Dave Clark Five were only together for eight years but they blazed the trail ahead of the Beatles and the Stones into America, Far East and Australia. Every member of the band were great musicians and true entertainers, and because they toured and recorded hard during those eight years the workload probably contributed to the eventual demise of the band. Every song on this album is unforgettable to those of us around during the sixties, and many of us spent considerable hours learning their songs and harmonies and marvelling at their musicianship. Even young entertainers today can learn something from this band, when recordings in the sixties weren't mixed on huge 64 channel Mitsubishi automated mixers but instead on low tech 4 track Studers. This album is strongly recommended to every rock n roll music lover that lived and loved the sixties.Read full review
I've always loved the Dave Clark Five so I'm really glad to have this compilation of their songs. The Dave Clark Five seem to me often to be overlooked as one of the greatest rock bands EVER and oldies radio stations rarely play their music. So sad that younger generations are much less familiar with this great band than other bands of the same era.

This CD is great example of getting what you want without paying a high price. I priced Dave Clark Five anthologies and could not find the right balance of the music I wanted (essentially the group's greatest hits) and a price I would want to pay. This CD contains those popular hits and some - but by no means all - of the music that only the most fanatic of DC5 listeners would know and want, so I'm not paying for anything that I don't need. On top of everything else the CD sound quality is terrific. I can't ask for more.
Couldn't find this compilation in music stores so I jumped on it when I saw it on ebay. Very glad to have it as the Dave Clark 5 were always my favorite. Great selection of songs - songs I hadn't remembered until I played it. As this is a 'remastered' CD the quality is okay but not the quality of the newest CDs that are available. Oh, and by the way, the songs are 2 minutes or less - who would have thought we would have loved them anyway - we didn't know any better. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and to have found the music of my younger years.
