5.0 out of 5 stars A first class collection to honour a top class group, 3 Jun 2003
By Wendy Burton (Tonbridge, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This double CD is something really special - for the first time a collection covering all periods of the Searchers' long and still-going-strong career, from the Pye, Liberty and RCA days through to the Sire releases and three tracks from "Hungry Hearts", their most recent studio album.

In addition to all the well-known hits and a selection of album tracks, it also includes their first demo records on the basis of which they got their first recording contract, and some early live tracks, none of which were issued at the time. But the big surprise is the inclusion of a track that even the most keen Searchers fans have never heard - "For What It's Worth" (a cover of the Buffalo Springfield classic, written by Stephen Stills). They recorded this when they were with Liberty Records in the late 60s, but it was never released, it was believed to have been lost, and it's only recently been found just in time to include it in this excellent collection.

The fold-out sleeve notes are excellent - one side is a collage of many of the original singles and album covers, and the other is a comprehensive history of The Searchers, written by eminent music writer and BBC Radio Merseyside presenter, Spencer Leigh. This is not just the usual run-of-the-mill "potted history" - it includes mention of all the 56 tracks on the double CD and shows how and where they fit into the 40 glorious years of their creer. A "must-buy" for all Searchers fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Searchers, 16 Jul 2009
By A. Mitchell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is and has to be the very best it has all their songs on and some that were only demo's. The are truly an amazing group and i'm sure will live in for some time yet.
I would recommend this album to anyone who likes the Searchers, go on "buy it you won't regret it"
