The Very Best Of

This is a good, all around Searchers compilation, basically focusing on their Pye years. It is for the casual fan. Those of us who are Searchers fanatics are better served by the 30th and 40th anniversary sets and Hearts in Their Eyes. This comp doesn't really offer any particular rarities etc., but serves as a nice intro to the band's music or is suited to someone who is a generalist collector of The British Invasion.

Great for searcher fans

Oh, my ears are so very happy! I am having an absolute blast locating oldies songs from my younger years and this CD did not disappoint. I will no doubt search for more of their music. This CD arrived in fine condition and as promptly as promised.

This Review is about the Quality of the music on this CD: Not about a problem with Shipping.The Searchers were part of the 60s British Invasion & I consider them to be one of the Best 60s British Bands. Why I waited this long to purchase this.....I don't know but what I do know is it wasn`t because I didn`t remember them because I did...I guess it was simply because I had forgot about them!! Anyone in this Country old enough to remember them from that Era will also remember their songs "Needles And Pins", "Don't Throw Your Love Away", "What Have They Done To The Rain" and "Love Potion # 9' but This Band was/is much more then those four songs. They are Outstanding on "Sugar and Spice" "When You Walk In The Room" "Hearts In Her Eyes' and "Four Strong Winds" also. Practically the entire CD is a pleasure to listen to!! Also The Sound Quality & The Liner Notes in The Leaflet Foldout Are Very Good. This is an excellent timepiece of This Legendary Band and I am going to borrow a Qoute I saw about The Searchers and the music from that Era in general & that Qoute is "And You Will Relive Those Magical Moments Of Your Life That You Might Imagine Could Never Be Recaptured"!!.....And That Is So True!! If You Are A Baby Boomer Buy This Today!!

Fast delivery.!Greatrecord

"Needles and Pins" will always be remembered as their biggest hit in the US, but there are enough hits on this CD to make the purchase worth while.I had forgotten songs like, "When You Walk In The Room" and "What Have They Done To The Rain".This CD brings me back to a time when lyrics were meant to be heartfelt, not censored.The recording is clean and doesn't have the flat mono to stereo sound found on some of the early 60's CDs.My only criticism is it was recorded at a low volume.

Good to listen to these oldies but goodies again. I expect to enjoy this in the car for years to come

includes all their USA hits and then some, but sound quality, while acceptable, could be better. If you can find a recent re masted copy from the master tapes , I would go that route.
