"The Zombies Greatest Hits" dual-layer SACD TRACK LISTING

In reference to stores not stocking this material - must just be my bad luck I guess. At the Tower store in my area the closest thing I can find to a Zombies disc is Rob Zombie, which isn't very close at all! I guess the Chicago area stores are stocked better.

 

Almost forgot - thanks Pat for the info on the mono mix of "Time of the Season".

 

Can't wait to hear the SACD... do you have compared them with the british box set remaster???

 

I find it interesting how with tubes in the mastering chain the sound is also often "airier" compared to solid-state. Warmer, smoother, and airier!!!

 

Excellent news!

Maybe The Dave Clark 5 would be next.

Ahh, there's life after SACD after all!

George

 

George,

With Dave Clark controlling the Master tapes for the DC5, I am not very confident that we will ever see the Stereo mixes on CD, let alone a contemporary re-release of the Mono mixes.

Bob

 

Steve,

That is my point exactly! Even if I had the Million, do you think Dave Clark would license the Stereo master tapes? Me, thinks not! But, perhaps, if I win a large Powerball drawing, we will test that theory out!

Bob

 

Would Dave Clark take $978,894.27 for the rights? Also, does he take credit card? Gosh, I bet people are just knocking down his door to pay that sort of money...

Todd

 

Then there was that "other" British group - the uh, beetles (I think that's their name) but I think they spelled it Beatles (with an "a"). Not too many people know about them - their stuff shouldn't be too expensive to license Steve!

 

The Dave Clark Five

Dave Clark terminated his contract with Hollywood Records way before it ran out. He had a clause that he could do so at any time, with or without cause.

Dave pulled his masters from Hollywood because he was upset at how they marketed the DC5 Hits Cd. He feels they did not spend enough of their time and money advertising the set.

The initial deal called for the 2Cd package, a comprehensive Box Set for collectors (with unreleased tracks), then the issue of all the British Lps on CD. As you all know, all we got was the Hits set.

Hollywood is small label, and what did Dave REALLY think they could do to market the DC5? They did a lot of print, but that was about it.

The DC5 is kinda like Cameo Parkway in that if you want the stuff on Cd (meaning the stereo versions and the individual LPs) you might as well go for the grey market releases because its looking more and more like thats all we are gonna get!!!


I also hear that Dave Clark has put the DC5 stuff on the back burner once again. I believe he is financially involved with a theatre of some kind now.


Oy Vay!!

 

Yeah, well, I was holding this back, but......
his live concerts stunk!
(I feel better already)

 

Too bad, I'll just have to listen to "Your Turn To Cry" , "I Still Need You" , "Bernadette" and the instrumental "Memories" on crappy worn 45s.

The DC5 CD did make #1 in many places, so why was he upset?

As for the planned Box Set - that's in my wish list.

Isn't Hollywood part of Warner Brothers, a big player?

George

 

Dave Clark has fantasies about how much his a catalogue is actually worth. Thus he won’t lease his material for a reasonable price to a movie, about the only way you could “promote” his “dead” catalogue. He has devalued his catalogue by keeping it out of print, except for the Hollywood 2CD set, in the USA since 1978.

Just ask anyone over 45 what they really think of the “Dave Clark Five”

Well maybe he put all of his energy into another production and will give us another winner like “Time” on the stage. (That was a joke folks)

“Hollywood is small label” what!?!

 

I'm only 29, help me out here...

Who or what is a Dave Clark Five, again?

 

They played Ernie Harwell's senior prom (in a house by the side of the road).

 

Well, Alan, it's like this: If you don't have what's not available, it becomes a novelty. For me, anyway.

Like "Evolution" by the Hollies. Before EMI released it on CD, I thought it was the last CD I'd love to own.

Soon I got it including the domestic pressing. What do I feel about it now?

It's just another disc not spinning more than it should.

The Hollywood DC5 CD set, IMO, is so-so. Too many rocking tunes. I much prefer the softer side of the Dave Clark 5.

George

 

Yes, I also searched out an UK LP of the Hollies "Evolution" and most of the Hollies catalogue before it was available on CD as well as the DC5 catalogue.

 

Well, I think if Dave Clark keeps his stuff off the market for too long then he runs the risk of his group being forgotten and lost in the past. I bet a lot of people under thirty think the 'Dick Clark 5' when they hear the name on the radio in a passing truck...

Todd

 

LOL!

 

LOL! "And a man from our nation's capital will take that one home!"

Congrats, I use that as my "location" on several different forums and you're the first from any of 'em to get the reference. Tiger fan?

Hmmmmm?

Then, why am I hearing "I Like It Like That" on the APPLEBEES commercials (radio and TV!)all the time? It doesn't make sense! It's kinda like the proverbial Allen Klein "slam" (reasonable or not?...I dunno!). maybe all this "speculation" about THESE people is "rumor" (rumour...for the UK/Canadian readers!).

I have: Whenever You're Around and ThinkingOf You Baby by The Dave Clark 5 on a CHEAP Sony Special Markets CD called Rock Goes To The Movies/Rockin' Is Our Bizness (1992) in "flat" Stereo! Go figure, huh?!

Then again, Steve himself said that Dave Clark wants astronomical amounts for the songs...and I "Do" believe Steve would have put out Dave Clark 5 stuff, if given half a chance!

 

Thanks for explaining Steve. I was hoping "Whenever You're Ready", "She's Coming Home" and "The way I feel inside" would make the cut...but I understand. I am definitely looking forward to get this (my first SACD) as soon as it hits the street.
