Catch Us If You Can – THE DAVE CLARK FIVE***

Catch Us If You Can/On The Move/If You Come Back/Long Ago/Any Time You Want Love/I Can’t Stand It/Your Turn To Cry/Hurtin’ Inside/Don’t Be Taken In/Don’t You Realize/I Cried Over You/Sweet Memories

Catch Us If You Can was the last UK chart album of original material from the Dave Clark Five. The title track was a No. 4 hit single in the US and No. 5 in the UK, and featured in the group's movie Having A Wild Weekend. (UK:8)

"The majority of DC5 songs were harmonies, and the power of the Five's harmonizing remains exhilarating."

"DC5 were damn close to having as many hits as The Beatles. They were as good as rocking as they were as ballads. Mike Smith, the singer, shouted and crooned as best as any 60s beat generation."

"The DC5 were, early on in the British invasion, second only to The Beatles in record sales. This album brings out The DC5's distinct sound and instrumentation. It is a shame that the group has been largely forgotten about on the American pop music scene."

"Catch Us If You Can is probably my favourite DC5 song. This is what music was all about. A true classic. Mike Smith's voice is greatly missed."

"This is one group that belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Once you put this album on, you will start tapping your feet and singing along with the music. The music sounds as good today, as when they first recorded it back in the 60s."
