C'mon, not better than the Beatles

Some really good stuff, but they never made the fundamental pivots into the future that the Beatles did - their music in 1967 sounded the same as it did in 1964, something that you would never say about the Beatles.

Dave Clark was a smart businessman. He did put the group together - and he did the deals with the record companies so that he owned the masters after 3 years, something unheard of then. (He was the producer, too). But he misgauged the market, and there were no reissues for a very, very long time - not until the two CD set that came out in the mid-90s by which time the DC5 was in fact completely forgotten except for those of us around in the 60s.

I heard them live once, in about 1965. Very exciting, although hard to hear over the screaming.
