Any album that opens with Anyway You Want It already has a leg up over most of the competition around it. Arguably the jewel of the Dave Clark Five s singles output, it s a song that has aged every bit as gracefully as, say, I Saw Her Standing There or A Hard Day s Night. So Coast To Coast opens strong and it gets better, blooming into an amazingly diverse yet consistently powerful record made up entirely of group originals. These mostly take us into the DC5 s own, uniquely energetic renditions of Merseybeat-style harmonies, on To Me a song that might be as fine as anything that Lennon and McCartney wrote on the Beatles first three albums, with its exquisitely lyrical saxophone break by Dennis Payton , I m Left With You which calls to mind This Boy in the most favorable way , the soaring Everybody Knows I Still Love You which offers some of Lenny Davidson s most flamboyant rhythm guitar work , and the haunting When, with its larger-than-life piano and rhythm section. Surrounding all of this surprisingly elegant songwriting, singing, and playing is some first-rate rock n roll in the form of Say You Want Me a close cousin of Anyway You Want It in sound and timbre , Don t You Know, and It s Not True. Had there been an actual rock press in 1964, or if the Dave Clark Five been taken more seriously sooner, Coast To Coast would probably be regarded today as something close to an essential British Invasion record, if, perhaps, not as seminal as, say, the Beatles For Sale LP, but definitely more solid and important than all but one other album: It s The Searchers by the Searchers.
REVIEW REPRINTED COURTESY OF BRUCE EDER, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/
The only serious competitor to the Beatles except, possibly, for Stones at the height of the British Invasion, Dave Clark Five provided some of the most creative Beat sounds of the British Invasion wave. We proudly present here one of the RAREST albums by the band. Finding a still sealed original MONO copy? ? Forget it not even a HOPE This may be the last one you will ever see .

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records click here PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID .
b The record comes in the original all-yellow stock inner sleeve WE CAN SEE IT THROUGH THE OPENING
c The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
d Mono pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its stereo counterpart. We think that the mix is more natural, humane, organic and that the mixes are somewhat different than on the stereo version. We estimate that stereo copies of this album outnumber mono pressings by a ratio of at least 5:1.
e Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
COVER
