DAVE DEE, DOZY, BEAKY, MICK & TICH - HE'S A RAVER

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich (DDDBMT), while massively huge in the UK, Germany, and Australia, never made many inroads of success in the US. Somewhat strange, as tracks such as "Hold Tight" are MASSIVE beat numbers (and a equal number of lightweight pop). However, taking into account the number of syllables in their name, perhaps American radio DJ's just weren't having it which limited their exposure.

On the flip side of "Okay" (which is, as its title suggests, merely OK), we have this wild mod rocker that, in the vein of The Pretty Things mega opus "Midnight To Six Man", epitomizes the dandy lifestyle.  The group certainly dresses the part on this German-issued picture sleeve as well.

I really love the pregnant pause just before the organ and guitar solos.

from 1967...
