5 By 5 (1964–69)

The song "No One Can Break a Heart Like You" was sung by guitarist Lenny Davidson instead of the band's lead singer Mike Smith.

The UK top 10 hit "The Red Balloon" is a rare case of drummer Dave Clark singing solo (partly in French).

This is the only band's album (from the core series) that Dave Clark has not released in a remastered collection on Spotify in 2019.

Melody Maker magazine wrote in the official review, "Well-produced and highly commercial album which will sell."

[6] Allen Evans from New Musical Express wrote, "All the tracks have that organ-drums-guitar crisp sound and the vocals, by various members but mostly Mike Smith on solos.

"[8] Disc and Music Echo magazine wrote, "The album will please their fans, it won't exactly blow the minds of the unbiased".
