Product Description

CD Description
The Searchers emerged from the same Merseyside scene that spawned The Beatles and Gerry & The Pacemakers with their ownflair for catchy pop and jangling rock influences. Known chiefly for the hits 'Sweets For My Sweet' and 'Needles And Pins', the group had much to do with the American penchant forall things British in the 1960s. Despite many line-up changes across the years, the focus remains on the strength of John McNally and Frank Allen's songwriting. This collection includes all their major hits, along with many other cuts fromtheir productive 60s sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mike Pender in voice and sound, 22 May 2008
By R. V. Askey "fanman" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good compilation and slightly different to some previous mainly due to the inclusion of the RCA single 'Solitaire' - a Mike Pender solo in effect- and 'Hearts in her Eyes 'from the Sire era. What is consistent throughout the album is the strong voice and jangly 12 string lead guitar sound of Mike Pender. He sings lead in all but a few tracks from the early days when Tony Jackson led vocals. That Mike Pender Voice and guitar sound can still be heard today - Mike Penders Searchers - his band still performing regularly and recreating that 'Sixties Searchers' Sound.Mike also appears regularly in other Tours with fellow Sixties stars as a solo artist

2.0 out of 5 stars How about some new stuff?, 18 May 2008
By Prezz (Aylesbury U.K.) - See all my reviews
I largely agree Jim, this is simply a rehash, however "Hearts In Her eyes" is from the Sire sessions & "Solitaire" is presumably from the RCA sessions from 1971. The Sire sessions are available separately now & together on the Raven CD.
What should be pushed for however is a new album. The band is still going you know!

3.0 out of 5 stars More of the same - where's their Sire work ?, 12 May 2008
This is just the same old same old and more of the same old Searchers tracks found on numerous other of their albums - they've missed a trick and should have put out some of their Sire work for a change !! Perhaps next time !
