Editorial Reviews

The Seekers, one of the most popular bands in the UK in the mid-sixties, formed in Australia in 1963. Originally a trio comprising of Athol Guy (double bass), Keith Podger (guitar) and Bruce Woodley (guitar), they were later joined by Judith Durham in 1964 who completed their now familiar line up. Selling millions of albums, and competing with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the charts, The Seekers material runs from classic pop to traditional folk ballads along with covers of songs by Dylan, Bob Gibson, Paul Simon, Tom Paxton and John Phillips, among others.

The Seekers Greatest Hits includes an astonishing 8 top 20 singles, 4 of which debuted at number 1, and reminds us why the UK originally fell for this timeless group and why they were one of the most successful groups of the sixties.

Very enjoyable! We especially like I'll Never Find Another You, Red Rubber Ball, Georgie Girl..... This would be especially recommended for those who enjoy 60's folk music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly their big hits, November 4, 2011

I am really enjoying this album. I have discovered Tom Springfield, their producer, who wrote some of their best songs. He is Dusty Springfield's brother and truly a gifted songwriter.
I think their original material shows them at their best, combining Folk and Rock elements in a nice 60's kind of way; great harmonies and a soulful sound. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars are the covers: when they do songs like "California Dreaming" or Gospel songs like "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen" I really prefer the originals; it doesn't show them at their best, in my opinion.
But the other stuff is great, and I would recommend the album to fans of this kind of music, basically Folk Rock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Song Selection but remix vocals issue, August 25, 2011

The songs are excellent, the voices wonderful. It has many of their big hits. I like to purchase the most recent issue of recordings for the best quality. The mix is clean and clear, but the vocals are often overshadowed by the instrumentals. I have to listen much louder than I'd like to hear the vocals properly, both lead and backing.
