I believe Glen played with them on their album Hollywood Drag (1964), as is mentioned in the links below.

If you read up on The Darts-Tommy Boyce had a roll in them and I believe he produced The Monkees, of which Glen DID play on those-the first 3 LPs. Other than that, I can't back up Glen or tie him to The Darts...

I am going out on a limb with this group The Darts: I will answer the question with NO-Glen Campbell didn't play for them. This UK group started too late for Glen to be a part of it.

Origin
Brighton, England

Genres
Doo-wop revival, new wave, pop rock

Years active
1976–1985

Past members
Bob Fish
Den Hegarty
Duncan Kerr
George Currie
Hammy Howell
Ian Collier
John Dummer
Keith Gotheridge
Hammy Howell
James (Jimmy) Compton
Nigel Trubridge
Rita Ray
Thump Thomson

Here is some other interesting info regarding The Darts-

Band line-up[edit]
The original line-up included:

Rita Ray, vocals (born Lydia Sowa, 11 December 1954, Ghana)
Den Hegarty, vocals (born Denis Hegarty, 13 September 1954, Dublin)
Griff Fender, vocals (born Ian Collier, 3 June 1954, Portsmouth, Hampshire)

Hammy Howell, piano (born William Howell 24 October 1954, Wimbledon, London - died 13 January 1999)

They started early but no mention of Glen. In my 40 years of collecting I have nothing with The Darts and Glen Campbell.

Cowpoke-a neat 45 and considered to be quite rare too!

Unless You Care/Can’t We Go – Terry Black. This is an original release on Tollie Records from 1964. Produced by Sloan and Barri. It made the charts at #99, but was played in the Bay Area. The song Unless You Care became a Canadian hit in late part of 1964. Many of the songs also appear on another Black LP from the mid 60’s, the wonderfully titled "The Black Plague."

Glen Campbell plays session guitar on Unless You Care, and Sloan has recalled that other top Los Angeles session guys Leon Russell and Hal Blaine also played on the Black Plague recordings from this era. This 45 that I OWN is in MONO – T-9026-Tollie Records/Sloan and Barri for Dunhill Productions. This is an extremely rare 45 and in terrific shape. Glen Campbell was 28 when he did the guitar work on here.

Take a peek on ebay-there are some listed!

According to this book Glen played on Unless You Care by Terry Black.

Regarding John Ashley, I think there could be a little mix-up. Eddie Cochran recorded "Little Lou" himself in 1958 and was closely associated with John Ashley. However, Ashley's version of Little Lou does not use the same backing as Eddie's version. Also, Tapio Vaisanen, one of the experts when it comes to Eddie Cochran (and a lot of other artists too I might add) does not think it's Eddie on Ashley's Little Lou.

Comments: I don't think that Eddie is on any of these. 5003 is much bootlegged and
has appeared on many Cochran bootlegs too, even under Eddie Cochran's name like
the singer could be him. It's not!

Here's an interview with the writer of Little Lou, Eddie Daniels. He and Glen were collegues when they both worked for American Music as songwriters
in the early sixties. He has a nice story to tell about Glen too.

Lonnie Coleman - In November 1967, Glen did a session for Lonnie Coleman, resulting in both sides of this single: “Once Ev'ry Minute/Pennsylvania Pen on Dot Records # 17075. This label is green and says “Not For Sale”-This is also an “Audition Record”. Original recording record and original sleeve. The 45 is in very good condition. Both songs were arranged and conducted by Bill Justis. “Dot Records Inc. is a division of Paramount Pictures Corporation.” (45-17075/MB-22572/MB-22571). Glen Campbell is on both sides of this record. Glen also played on one other record with Lonnie Coleman. That one is called “If Wishes Were Horses” and that is the A Side-also on Dot Records # 17129. –I still have to look for that!

The Blossoms—Challenge Records # 9138, "The Search is Over"/"Big Talking Jim". Recording date at the session is 1/16/62. Glen Campbell is on guitar on both sides. This 45 on the Challenge Label is White-It is a Promotional Copy 45/Not For Sale. Distributed by Warner Brothers Records. 4 Star Sales Companies. “Big Talking Jim” was written by Dave Burgess/”The Search Is Over” was written by Elroy Peace. This Challenge label says “Ultra High Fidelity”-this is a rare find from 1962 with Glen Campbell on here doing studio work. This record as of today is 52 years ago and Glen was only 25 when he recorded this. This is a great find and a promo too! The record is in very good condition considering its age.

these arrived today--love the audition copy!
