The Dave Clark Five Look Back With 'All The Hits': "I think we did too many albums."

The Dave Clark Five

Dave Clark of The Dave Clark Five talks about their biggest hits, playful rivalry with The Beatles, & which of their songs was the last song the Ramones ever played live

Dave Clark of The Dave Clark Five discusses the band's latest compilation, 'All The Hits,' marking the legendary group's return to vinyl after decades. Remixed and remastered at the renowned Abbey Road Studios, the compilation offers a fresh take on the band's timeless classics. Clark addresses the historical narrative that pitched The Dave Clark Five against The Beatles, clarifying that there was no rivalry between the two despite media attempts to create one. He shares insights into pivotal moments such as the release of "Glad All Over" and the successful challenge to their record label for the single release of 'Because.'

The conversation touches on the Coast To Coast LP and the interesting tidbit that "Any Way You Want It" served as the final song ever played live by the Ramones. Clark also reveals the untold story behind "Universal Love," a hidden gem brought out of the vaults to conclude this comprehensive collection.
