CD ReviewsNot what you think..... Dave | Eden Prairie, MN, USA | 06/14/2000 (2 out of 5 stars) "If you are expecting good copies of some of their classic hits, you need to go elsewhere. If you are a real fan of the band, some of the unreleased recordings and orignal recordings are worth the listen. A precursor to their Sire recordings which showed that the group still desire to stretch and grow when not laden with redoing old hits." SEARCHERS EARLY 70s MATERIAL A REVELATION ehfc@worldnet.att.net | Los Angeles, CA USA | 09/20/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The British Invasion's most underrated act, The Searchers signed to RCA Victor in the early 70s, primarily in order for the label to squeeze some easy dough out of the band by redoing their Pye(UK)/Kapp (US) hits. What the label failed to comprehend was that the band was on an upswing with its own material, writing some really fine stuff with obvious commercial potential. But the powers that be at RCA couldn't (or wouldn't) see the forest thru the trees. Yes, The Searchers still were recording some covers, such as "Solitaire" (before anyone else had), but self-penned songs such as "And a Button", "Sing Singer Sing" (a #1 in Malaysia; should have been #1 everywhere else, too), and "The World is Waiting for Tommorrow" showed that their songwriting skills were something to be reckoned with. But the label, sadly, didn't have confidence in the band, and they were dropped prematurely. This is evident in the number of unreleased tracks here, all of which are high caliber. Buy this for them, not for the re-recordings, which are OK but mostly lack the punch of the originals. Their hearts really weren't in re-visiting their past. They were forging ahead in fine form. It's a pity their record company could only look backwards." A diamond in POP history The Searchers Håkan Almroth | Kalmar, Småland Sweden | 02/11/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Liverpool popgroups really showed how to make music.The sound is uncoverable,especially that which came from The Searchers.They gained really success and made many hits,but all tounderrated in compareness to The Beatles.Why they never spotted so many no 1 hits after 1966 has only reason:BAD PROMOTION & conservative DJ. Here in Sweden they dissapeard after 1967,sad to say. The Searchers are & where frontmens in sound and texts(=Dont throw your love away, an example.) they also wrote many chartoppers,why did they fail?????BAD PROMOTION. Who were the people behind??? PYE-records,the agent,???I dont know. Buy this record and find that they played todays sond&music 1972!! I have been listening to them since 1963.Håkan Almroth Kalmar Sweden email:hakan.almroth@netscape.net"
