Beat group The Dave Clark Five enjoyed considerable chart success in early 1964 with their 'Tottenham Sound' featuring saxophone and pounding drums. Session included the top ten hit single Can't You See She's Mine. Unfortunately, the Five's musical range was somewhat limited compared with many of their popular contemporaries. (UK:3)
"Wow, this album is filled with uninspired music. It features what has to be the worst cover of Rumble ever recorded. Tracks like Funny, Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah and Can I Trust You only point out what posers these guys were in relation to the talent from England making their way into the pop charts at the same time. It truly is hard to imagine why anyone would ever think for a second that The Dave Clark Five were considered a major threat to The Beatles."
"The best track comes with the first song, the dance raver Can't You See That She's Mine. Almost everything else on this record is either mediocre or rubbish."
"The Dave Clark Five continued their trend of surrounding a hit song, Can't You See That She's Mine, with a number of covers and a few originals. The DC5 would release most of their superior songs as singles and just fill in their albums as best they could."
"A Session With The Dave Clark Five is so unmemorable I’d bet they have forgotten it. Its not horrible; its just so generic. Its no wonder these guys got left in the dust."
"As the group's first venture in making an LP, it's not as strong as their later efforts, though it does show off their range around the sound that would make them international."
