'The Very Best Of The Searchers' is the definitive compilation of one of the UKs finest and most enduring bands, showcasing all of their UK hits and more. The compilation will be released in the UK by Universal Music TV on May 12th, 2008.
Named after the classic 1956 John Wayne movie, The Searchers were, along with The Beatles, one of the most influential groups to emerge from the heady days of the Mersey era, and notched up a run of over 18 hit records, including three #1 hits.
They came together in the early sixties and like their fellow Liverpudlians, The Beatles, they headed for the revered 'Star Club' in Hamburg, where they developed their repertoire and unique sound; playing alongside such US greats as Ray Charles and Gene Vincent.
In a remarkable career now spanning five decades, The Searchers are still led by John McNally and Frank Allen from those glory days and now aided by Spencer James and Ed Rothe. They have continued touring the world, thrilling audiences of all ages with some of the greatest and memorable songs ever recorded.
This definitive CD contains all their hits including: Sweets For My Sweet (No. 1 Jun 1963), Sugar And Spice (No. 1, Oct 1963), Needles And Pins (No. 1, Jan 1964), Don't Throw Your Love Away (No. 1, Apr 1964), Someday We're Gonna Love Again (No. 1 Jul 1964), When You Walk In The Room (No. 3, Sep 1964) and Goodbye My Love (No. 4, Mar 1965).
