The Dave Clark Five continued to enjoy considerable success in the States during 1965, although there popularity at home was beginning to wane. Having A Wild Weekend includes four songs from the film of the same title. (US:15)

"Because of their extensive touring schedule, The Dave Clark Five were more successful in America than in their homeland."

"It seems The Dave Clark Five are the band that nobody remembers. They had a long, successful career in the 60s, sold millions and millions of records. They were front runners on the British Invasion, coming around just a few weeks after The Beatles."

"The DC5 didn't mess around. Their style had almost no subtlety. Just fast rockers played loud."

"Today, they are almost forgotten. Part of the problem is that Dave Clark guards the music closely, letting compilations out only occasionally."

"The Dave Clark Five have long been given short shrift by history. The band actually had a winning way with both more rocking material and softer, poppier sides."

"One thing that DC5 were very good at was entertainment. A very tight group in the 60s that were at the forefront of the British Invasion."

"The DC-5 gave The Beatles a run for their money and, as one of the pioneer groups during the British Invasion, The Beatles and DC-5 were considered top contenders in the music scene."
