Having split the previous year, the UK LP “Play Good Old Rock N’ Roll” (EMI Starline SRS 5090) was a “final squeeze of the juice”, rounding up seven sides 1965-1970 with a couple of previously unreleased numbers, “Lucille” and “Loving You”. Only “Reelin’ And Rockin’” (Greatest Hits, 1967) had appeared on any previous albums and 8 of the 9 stem from the last couple of years, so the album manages to attain “A-list” status. The album is themed around the “Golden Age of Rock n Roll” and is probably The Dave Clark Five’s most cohesive album to date. Of the 9 covers, “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” and the aforementioned “Reelin’ And Rockin’” merit pass marks - the rest is a tedious chore, most especially the two proto-jive-bunny medleys. A sad effort…
