The Dave Clark Five - Bits & Pieces!: Every Song from Every Session, 1962-1973

By Peter Checksfield

At the height of the 'British Invasion' in the mid-sixties, 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' inductees The Dave Clark Five were second only to The Beatles in popularity. They sold over 100 million records, appeared on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' a dozen times, and have influenced artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Kiss and The Ramones. Yet, until now, there has been almost no serious analysis of their music - which ranges from wild, frantic Rhythm 'n' Blues to relaxed, middle-of-the-road Easy Listening, as well as Rock 'n' Roll, Psychedelia, Bubblegum, Blues, Jazz, Country, Folk and Pop. In this remarkable book, Music Historian Peter Checksfield - author of acclaimed books on Jerry Lee Lewis, The Searchers and The Tremeloes - documents and reviews all this, and much, much more.
