Win The Dave Clark Five’s Hits!

ONCE DUBBED “THE BIGGEST challenge to The Beatles” by none other than The Beatles’ John Lennon, The Dave Clark Five made hay while the sun shone on the ’60s beat group boom, scoring consecutive UK Number 1s with Glad All Over and Bits And Pieces and leading the vanguard of the so-called “British Invasion”, landing 16 consecutive Billboard Top 30 berths between 1964 and 1967.

Marketing the stompy, so-called “Tottenham Sound”, the DC5 made 13 appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, more than any other band. And in 2008, their phenomenal stateside success was acknowledged when actor Tom Hanks inducted The Dave Clark Five into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Their purple pop patch is comprehensively reflected in their aptly titled 28-track compilation, The Hits. It’s out now, but you could score one of 10 giveaway copies if you answer the following correctly…

Which famous film director made the DC5’s Help!-style movie, Catch Us If You Can (US title: Having A Wild Weekend)?

a) Federico Fellini
b) Richard Lester
c) John Boorman

Mail your answer to Editor@mojo4music.com, with the subject “DC5 Competition”, not forgetting to include your name and postal address. Closing date is November 3.

Look forward to a Dave Clark Five feature in a forthcoming MOJO.

  • Hay que sacarse la venda de los ojos,aunque la historia comercial haya sido mas vehemente,y lo que prima es lo feo ,creo que DAVE CLARK AND FIVE supero lejos a los de Liverpool,sin duda un manejo de marketing ayuda a promocionar cualquier cosa
    Este grupo britanico :tiene calidad instrumental,vocal,hermosos arreglos corales
    bellas canciones.
    Al final de la historia siempre se impone la calidad ,buen gusto.
    Este excelente grupo paseo su fama por Europa,EEUU parte de America.
    Estos son los primeros en esos años 60s.
