A Session with The Dave Clark Five is the UK debut album by the English pop rock band the Dave Clark Five and was released in the United Kingdom in April 1964 on EMI's Columbia Records (see 1964 in music). The album consists of the single "Can't You See That She's Mine" along with covers of "Rumble" by Link Wray & His Ray Men, "On Broadway" by the Drifters, and the Walt Disney song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah". It peaked at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart.

Reception[]

In a retrospective review published on AllMusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote "As the group's first venture in making an LP, it's not as strong as their later efforts, though it does show off their range around the sound that would make them international stars. The lack of the presence of a hit single, however, leaves it weaker than most of the group's American-released LPs."^[1]
