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.

2007 two CD compilation filled with sweet harmonies and catchy songs from the Folk/Pop quartet. The distinctive sound of The Seekers, with their tautly harmonised vocals and catchy Folk arrangements, could only be the product of one decade: the '60s. The blurring of moral codes and the increased levelling-out of gender roles at this time created an atmosphere of hedonistic excitement, leading to the decade's 'swinging' nickname, yet there remained, in some quarters at least, a certain naivety, a wide-eyed, innocent, peace-loving hope, absent from much of the music of later decades. It is this aspect of '60s music that characterises the output of The Seekers, whose popularity was such that they even rivalled the raw, raunchy blues of The Rolling Stones and the innovative songs of The Beatles in the mid-'60s tussle for chart supremacy. Includes "I'll Never Find Another You", "The Carnival Is Over", "A World Of Our Own" and "Georgy Girl". EMI Gold.
