"Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", also known as "The Dave Clark Play Good Old Rock 'n' Roll", is a medley by British band the Dave Clark Five, released as a single in November 1969. It was a top-ten hit in the UK, peaking at number 7 on the Singles Chart in January 1970.[1]
The single had audience screams dubbed in and the album version of the A-side was over half the time shorter. In the US, a single was also released as "Good Old Rock 'n' Roll". However, this single is equivalent to the follow-up medley "More Good Old Rock 'n' Roll".[2]
Reception
Reviewing for New Musical Express, Derek Johnson wrote that the single is not the "official follow-up to "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" – but a special 'bonus' release". He described it as a "great Christmas party disc for the young-at-heart", but that it "would have been better without the dubbed-in audience screams".[3]
