Yesterday 06-12 in the afternoon the Dave Clark Five, The collection within Catawiki the 1000th unique item.

Master Collector Herman0501 has introduced this beautiful Dave Clark collection almost completely and meticulously.

Personally my Dave Clark Five knowledge does not go beyond a handful of hits. That is precisely why I really enjoy discovering the huge range of releases in Catawiki.

All Dave Clark Five fans: congratulations on this memorable event and with this beautiful collection at Catawiki. For the next 19 days, let's celebrate appropriately by posting your Dave Clark Five anecdotes below.

Cheers!

My knowledge of The Dave Clark Five is zero, but as a result of this post I went to YouTube and it was not disappointing. Remember that Gary Pig Gold once told me that the biggest fan and collector of the DCF came from the Netherlands, but I have forgotten his name.

So Herman :-)

I once read somewhere that Dave Clark himself soon got involved with the business side of music and that it did him no harm.

In fact, Dave Clark arranged everything and that is not considered positive by everyone. Indeed Dave Clark has become very rich, the other members of the DC5 (as they are often called) have become a lot less rich financially.

I have 3 members of the DC5 (Dave Clark, Mike Smith and Rick Huxley) several times since I ran "The World-Wide Dave Clark Fan Club" in the years 1974-1989. I'm still in touch with Dave Clark. Ever since I ran his fan club, I have his phone number and we call each other every now and then. Plan to visit him again in London later this year.

Feel free to contact me about The Dave Clark Five, Dave Clark & amp; Friends, Smith & amp; d'Abo and / or John Christie.

My comment was not meant to be negative. I've always admired him for it. Most bands in the sixties didn't care about anything. Just wanted to play and make a picture. The big money went to the record companies and management. Dave realized that pretty quickly and read the fine print of the contracts :-)

LeVigan,

I've known Gary Pig Gold since the seventies & amp; eighties, when I ran "The World-Wide Dave Clark Fan Club", with the approval of Dave Clark !!!

First met Dave Clark and singer Mike Smith, shortly after starting the fan club , At their secretary's house.

That Gary Pig Gold was one of the members of the fan club, a very special member I may say. At the time, he was friends with another Canadian, Doug Pelton, who was also a member of the fan club. I still have contact (FaceBook) with both, especially with Doug, who is also a separate figure, but very nice.

Herman,

Had a lot of contact with Gary in the 80's. Then I lost sight of it until I found it again on FBook last year. Still the same luckily.

Sent parcels weekly and never asked for anything in return. Half of what I got then went to Michel from Da Capo out of guilt, who was so sporty to give Gary a share of the proceeds.

Still very, very sorry that I didn't see all those paper Pig Paper saved.
