Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich were a British pop/rock group of the 1960s. Two of their single releases sold in excess of one million copies each, and they reached number one in the UK Singles Chart with the second of them, "The Legend of Xanadu". Five friends from Wiltshire, David John Harman (Dave Dee), Trevor Leonard Ward-Davies (Dozy), John Dymond (Beaky), Michael Wilson (Mick) and Ian Frederick Stephen Amey (Tich), formed a group in 1961, originally called Dave Dee and the Bostons.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich is the debut self-titled album by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. It contained the song "Hold Tight!" which was notably featured in the 2007 Quentin Tarantino film Death Proof. All tracks composed by Howard Blaikley (Alan Blaikley and Ken Howard); except where indicated. We've Got a Good Thing Goin'" (Bill Martin, Phil Coulter) - 2:24. Here's a Heart" (Lionel Segal, Pierre Tubbs) - 3:12. Something I Gotta Tell You" - 2:32.

There was a time in the mid-'60s when Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich could do no wrong on the British charts. They were very much a singles band, but with the team of Alan Blaikley and Ken Howard penning the songs, they were on a roll with unusual, ear-catching material like "Bend It" and "Hold Tight," which worked outside of the standard pop framework of the day. Given the big arrangements on the songs, it was always hard to tell just how good they were as a real band, but caught up in the welter of hits, it never seemed to matter.

This 22-track ''very best of'' compendium provides a colourful and tuneful, if unrelentingly loud and exhaustingly fast-paced, reminder of a band who spent more weeks in the UK charts than The Beatles in the second half of the 1960s. Despite such a boast, ex-copper Dave Dee and his own fab four have always seemed a quirky, chirpy footnote in the history of British pop music. But be warned: ''very best'' is a far too elastic concept for whoever put this collection together. The Everly Brothers medley and cover versions of You Keep Me Hanging On, Roy Orbison's In Dreams and the odd decision to close the album with a coupling of Stairway to Heaven and Pinball Wizard will have you rushing to the dictionary to check the meanings of ''very'' and ''best''.

Carrying on then a main fault lay with the fact to call the album the 'Very Best Of' when really it was for the umpteenth time just their 'Greatest Hits' again was questionable & annoying.
