The Hits

Performer: The Dave Clark Five
Distributor: Phantom Import Distributi

Notes: Although they never wowed the critics like the Beatles did, for a time in the mid-'60s the Dave Clark Five were the Fab Four's main commercial competition, turning out hit after hit and selling an astounding 100 million records before all was said and done. This generous, 28-track, single-disc anthology has all the essentials (the DC5 were never really an album band but they sure knew how to make singles), including "Glad All Over," "Catch Us If You Can," "Over and Over," "Can't You See That She's Mine," "Bits and Pieces," and the gorgeous ballad "Because," among others, making this a more than adequate introduction and career survey of a wonderfully fun and often underrated band. ~ Steve Leggett

British beat group the Dave Clark Five formed in North London in 1960. They first hit the U.K. charts in October 1963, in the wake of a spectacular upsurge of talent known in the United States as the British Invasion. "Glad All Over" proved one of the most distinctive and recognizable songs of the era, reaching number one in the U.K. in January 1964. Over the next couple of years, the group enjoyed hits with "Bits And Pieces" and "Catch Us If You Can," but as their star began to fade in their home land, new opportunities awaited them in the States. A series of appearances on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW helped them score a remarkable 17 Billboard Top 40 hits, including a number one with "Over And Over."
