The Searchers New Box Set

Post by karl » Tue Apr 24, 2012 6:35 pm

Any Searchers fans here?

I have always liked their sound ande bought many cd's over the years.

Hearts In Their Eyes a 4 cd box is released June 25th and it will soon be added to my Wish List.

I have seen this group several times over the years but still think The Swinging Blue Jeans have the edge when they perform live.

I like the Searchers and have a few of their US lps. Also have a box set called "The Pye Singles". Didn't think much of The Swinging Blue Jeans.

Ah! But you haven't seen them live!!!!!

They recorded a really good version of Don't Make Me Over (the Bacharach song). Did you know the first time Dusty heard that song she was in tears, Burt himself recorded a superb orchestral version.

Karl, don't know about that, but I seem to always get them mixed up with some other band that was all blonde I think they were called the Hullabaloos or something and they looked like grown up versions of "Children of the Damned". :lol: :lol: My Dad bought their album when I was a kid and for years I refused to look at it or listen to it cuz my brother said it really was the "Children of the Damned" masquarading as a rock band and using music to get their victims. I was soooooooooooooooo gullible!!

The Searchers werent a bad group and have a few nice songs. I have a poor quality hits album on LP.

One of my favourite songs is "You're No Good" by the Swinging Blue Jeans i love that song both lyrically and to listen too! :) I havnt really heard much of their music though yet.

The Searchers have more than a few nice songs, if you listen to their hits they recorded many great titles -even their later recordings after the hits dried up are really good, they are also very good live as I've seen them several times over the years and spoken to them afterwards.
