A couple years back there was a DVD boxset of Brit Invasion Groups with the Small Faces/Gerry&Pacermakers/Dusty Springfield/Hermans Hermits. There was steam building for a second one and the Zombies, Hollies, Kinks and others were rumored. But the market dropped out for such things and only the Hollies edition made it out as a stand alone product. (And a Pretty Things DVD biography was screened once and remains gathering dust on a shelf). The DC5 would have been a perfect subject.
At the library I work at, we have a copy of Rhino's 9-disc Ed Sullivan's Rock n Roll Classics. Anybody who was anyone has their Sullivan appearances on there--from Elvis to the Carpenters. But, in spite of their record-setting 18 appearances, not a single DC5 clip. Wonder what DC is thinking by being so stingy with their material?

There was a thread about DC5 some months ago, which had a link for a PBS documentary. Unfortunately, the video is restricted to some regions. I'm pretty sure it must be a very interesting one for those able to watch it: [video.pbs.org]

I can never understand how DC,according to the media has amassed such a huge fortune. DC5 were successfull for a relatively short period of time...late 60s when UK income tax was 83%.
The individual Stones were broke....and owing the Inland Revenue a lot of dosh.
I dont think DC went into (tax) exile.
He had a West End success...what else?
He escaped the clutches of Allen Klein of course. Sure he owns the copyright to some of the RSG shows...but have these netted a fortune? I think not.
Mystery.

Dave Clark was much more aware of "business" at that age than any of his contemporaries (Lennon, Jagger, etc). I can't recall if DC5 were 'self-managed' or not, but their "management" clearly accrued far more income towards the income generators (the band) than did The Stones or The Beatles.

Weren't the Stones broke because Klein et al were not paying the taxes like they were supposed to ?Quote
