Chaquita/ In Your Heart

This is a new, unplayed promo copy from the collection. Now, here's an interesting story that was new to me: Dave Clark Five formed way back in 1958 (according to Wikipedia and other sources), and "Chaquita" was either their first or second vinyl release, depending on where you look. In the U.K., it was released in 1962 on Ember 156, with the vocal "In Your Heart" on the flip. (By the way, I don't know who's singing on the B side, but don't expect the wildly enthusiastic Dave Clark style... the vocals (not even Dave?) are way overshadowed by the lead guitar, horns and rhythm section, IMHO.) "Chaquita" is a special delight! It's like a surf-rock band doing a cover of the Champs' classic 1958 hit "Tequila," in a really good way! Have a listen to the mp3 snippet in our "jukebox" to hear what I mean. This early 1964 release on Jubilee came after the group finally hit the big time on the wings of Beatlemania with their classic "Glad All Over." Note: The white labels are nearly flawless, with just a hint of ringwear on the A side (see scan). The vinyl looks and sounds new, with no distortion and no noteworthy surface noise once the music begins.
