I've got a cd that clearly says "made in Germany" simply titled Dave Clark Five Greatest Hits. It's a total of 30 tracks with 17 in stereo. I picked it up a few years ago, knowing it's not an official release, just for the song "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby." I'm sure it's a bootleg (just like those old Cameo Parkway compilation discs that were out there before the official 2005 ABKCO releases).

I've finally had a chance to compare "History" to "Hits." I cannot discern any differences at all in the cuts that appear on both collections.

No mono/stereo differences (most cuts are mono) and brightness, low end, clarity, lack of tape hiss are identical.

Not to mention COMPRESSION! The DC5's hits had to be some of the most heavily compressed records of all time.

That's because those stereo mixes were done to match the UK versions, not the U.S. versions. The missing overdubs on the stereo Can't You See That She's Mine never bugged me... my mono Best Of Dave Clark Five lp on epic had the UK 45 version on there.]]> Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:59:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2659&PID=21572&title=dave-clark-five-some-stereo-versions#21572 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2659&PID=21571&title=dave-clark-five-some-stereo-versions#21571 Author: Yah Shure

For years, I've gritted my teeth whenever the radio stations formerly known as "oldies" played those stereo mixes. From the extra echo on the "stay"s on "Glad All Over" to the missing/different percussion on "Can't You See That She's Mine" to the less-upfront, right-channel organ intro on "Because" to - as David pointed out - the different yells on "Catch Us If You Can", they just don't measure up to the hit versions/mono mixes.

If I were to use one word to describe what's missing from the stereo mixes that is the trademark of the DC5's beat group sound on the mono mixes, it would be excitement. Dave Clark strikes me as being firmly planted in the "Back To Mono" camp, and the wallop that his group's singles delivered made them sound extra exciting on AM radio at the time.

I remember seeing the EMI/Regal Starline LP in the cutout bins in 1977, but I passed on it for two reasons: one, Epic's Glad All Over Again mono compilation had come out three years earlier, and two, I already had the 1971 Epic double-LP The Dave Clark Five (Epic 30434.) The latter LP contained only six hits among its twenty tracks, but those six - "Glad All Over", "Can't You See That She's Mine", "Try Too Hard", Because", "Please Tell Me Why" and "Come Home" were all in true stereo.

I'm not opposed to having the DC5 material in stereo, but I think it works best on the mellower hits. The rockers just sound flat and lifeless, especially when compared with the mono mixes on the History CD and the 1974 Glad All Over Again double-LP. One other thing that strikes me about the DC5 hits: Mike Smith's double-tracked vocals complement each other better on the mono mixes.

I have "The Red Balloon" in stereo on the Italian Polydor Historia De La Musica Rock DC5 LP, but to my ears, it sounds like it's patterned after the group mistakenly shown on the front cover, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. The verse sung in French likely didn't help "Red Balloon"'s chances in finding a U.S. audience, either. 1967 was a pivotal year, and in America, the DC5 began to sound dated. I do agree that the later singles should have been included on the CDs. To have waited so many years, only to have a non-definitive, double-CD with too much filler like History was a major letdown. ]]> Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:17:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2659&PID=21571&title=dave-clark-five-some-stereo-versions#21571 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2659&PID=21570&title=dave-clark-five-some-stereo-versions#21570 Author: aaronk

David, thanks very much for your breakdown/analysis of the EMI/Regal "Starline" LP. I also think it's awesome that "David Clark" is such on expert on the "Dave Clark 5"! I had not previously known of/noticed the song differences you have just pointed out above, sir. Maybe now we're finally starting to get somewhere here. Perhaps Clark did give releasing stereo versions of his songs a try, on the LP we both bought 30+ years ago, didn't like the results he heard on there, and he won't revisit the subject now because of it. Since David's findings do reveal numerous sound/mix differences, perhaps there may not actually be "true stereo 45 versions" out there after all. I, too, now anxiously await Dan's Hits/History audio analysis and findings!]]> Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:23:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2659&PID=21569&title=dave-clark-five-some-stereo-versions#21569
