    I’ve heard of ‘The Dave Clark Five’ but this is ridiculous! No wonder BEAUTY is only skin deep?

    Is this before or after they drink the “potion”?
    …only their hair dresser knows for sure.

    Wow, you Guys are rough – Is it not bad enough that they dig being dominated by their hairdresser? Beat the Clark Sisters indeed…

    Actually I have that album, it’s among my favourites with some quite good jazz arrangements. Lest we forget, the Clark Sisters was the female quartet in the Glenn Miller band of the 1940s, they have no connection whatosever with the current gospel group by that name.

    Oh, and by the way, it does NOT contain a track entitled ““I Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Conditioner Is In!” That’s just plain bull. The tracks are mostly standards such as “Down by the Old Mill Stream,” or “You Tell me Your Dream and I’ll tell you Mine” (A Mills Brothers standard.) The album title is in reference to the songs being mostly barbershop quartet standards. Of course in the chauvinistic 50s they had to change “Barbershop” to “Beauty Shop.” See, isn’t the truth MUCH more interesting as to the album’s description?!

    Correction, the Clark Sisters were with the Tommy Dorsey orchestra, where they were known as “The Sentimentalists” One and the same! The Clark Sisters highlighted the famous recording of “On the Sunny Side of the Street.”

    I agree the cover looks stupid in retrospect, but it was up to the marketing standards of 1958, when the record was issued.
