DC5 - QUESTION # 2 - What CDs are available, and what's coming?

In the USA, the only licensed, significant CD is the compilation "A History of the Dave Clark Five", a 2-CD set of 50 songs. Unfortunately, it's been out of print for a few years. The track listing is below.

In England, there's the single CD compilation "Glad All Over Again". Track list below.

An unusual CD on the German Reportoire label is "The Dave Clark Five and the Washington DCs", which has six of the pre-GladAllOver recordings, plus a dozen songs by a lesser-known, but still decent rock band called the Washington DCs. Track listing below.

Various other bootleg CDs exist, including the Australian "Bits & Pieces", the Japaneese combination CD with Peter & Gordon, and two CDs on the Carnaby Label, "Glad All Over" and "Bits And Pieces".

A decade ago, Dave Clark was quoted as promising to release a box-set of several discs, spanning hits, out-takes, whatever. A contract with Hollywood records to re-release the hits on re-pressed 45rpm records (sold in "collectable oldies" bins in stores) has recently run its course, and so the time now seems right to proceed on the box-set. However, know two things about Dave. First, he's a sensible business man, and he won't embark on a project unless he's truly believing its lucrative. Second, he values his privacy, and so it's not possible to contact him to plead for such releases. So as to the IF and WHEN of a boxed-set: we just don't know.
