| The DC5 released their version of the Contours classic to build on the excitement generated by the Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout." Unfortunately, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes had a more popular version (#1) at the same time. Nevertheless, this recording displays some of the excitement characteristic of DC5 shows in this era. (See Joynson 1995: 107.) |
