3.0 out of 5 stars A good collection, mostly of their later hits, April 27, 2002

This review is from: The Very Best Of The New Seekers (Audio CD)

The CD shows the group's ability to adapt to a wide range of styles and genres. I was a bit diasppointed, however, that many of their earlier hits were not included (only about a half of their greatest hits LP are included), including their best Melanie covers (especially the Nickel Song). And that they included a lot of the group's later hits, i.e., after there had been some noteworthy changes of band members. Their early material is still great - it really shows their ingenuity - but the later songs included here are a bit too parrot-like.
Still, an album that is worth having.

By far the best collection from the New Seekers to date. This is not a remake version but all the great vocals of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Peter Doyle, Paul Layton and all. Some of the best music they ever recorded

This review is from: The Very Best Of The New Seekers (Audio CD)

The New Seekers were a revival of the successful Australian folk outfit The Seekers that achieved major success in the UK and USA with songs like Georgy Girl, although none of the original members of the Seekers sang in the New Seekers. Their hit-making career started in 1971 with a cover of Melanie Safkas What Have They Done To My Song, but the real breakthrough came later that year with the exuberant Never Ending Song Of Love. The original, by Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, also made the charts but the New Seekers lively melodic version with its bright vocals was clearly the more commercially appealing. Other tuneful hits here include Beg, Steal or Borrow (A UK Eurovision Song Contest entry), the beautiful Circles and a stunning, genuine rock version of Pete Townsends Pinball Wizard (See Me Feel Me). They also had hits with You Wont Find Another Fool Like Me and I Get A Little Sentimental Over You but these were tepid ballads in my opinion and Im still not fond of them. The cover versions of famous 60s and 70s songs are better. And then theres their biggest hit that started out as a famous soft drink commercial: Id Like To Teach The World To Sing. Erm, not my favorite either, probably because it was overplayed then and Ive had enough of it forever. Its just a singalong ballad and does not compare well with their best songs like Never Ending Song Of Love and the stunning Pinball Wizard. This album is a great collection of their hits and best album tracks and I recommend it to all who love bright pop music and the poppier side of 60s and 70s folk.
