Description
THE DC 5 (DAVE CLARK 5) - DRUM NUMBER / I NEED LOVE - EMIDISC ACETATE.
THIS ITEM CAME FROM AN EX-CHOREOGRAPHER FROM THE SHOW 'READY STEADY GO' BACK IN THE 60'S. HE WOULD BE GIVEN ADVANCE COPIES OF TRACKS THAT WERE TO BE USED ON THE SHOW TO ENABLE HIM TO MAKE UP DANCE ROUTINES. THIS ONE FEATURES THE DAVE CLARK 5 WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE AN UNISSUED TRACK SIMPLY ENTITLED "DRUM NUMBER". IT FEATURES HEAVY DRUMMING (NATURALLY) BUT SOME GREAT ORGAN AND FUZZ GUITAR. SOUND CLIP WILL FOLLOW. SIDE TWO IS "I NEED LOVE" WHICH CAME OUT AS A COLUMBIA B SIDE IN 1966. I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS IS THE SAME TAKE BUT WILL PUT UP A SOUND CLIP IF POSSIBLE.
THE ACETATE IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION WITH NO WEAR WHATSOEVER HAVING PRESUMABLY ONLY BEEN PLAYED A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE IT WAS MADE. GRADING IT AS EXCELLENT.
IF YOU NEED ANY NORE INFO PLEASE ASK AND I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN TO ANSWER.
As if by magic, someone has been kind enough to send me some details, thanks to Jason for this:
The title "Drum Number" is actually a track called "Five By Five" and was released as a B side to "Julia" in 1970. It was also featured in the TV special "Hold On It's The DC5" from 1967. It would have been great if it was, but it's not an unreleased track
