The Searchers
Featuring a wide selection of the Searchers' more well-known moments, this 2002 DVD audio collection will be of most interest to those new to the driving quasi-surf sounds of this band from Liverpool, England. Those seeking a more comprehensive look will probably be better off with the 56-track, two-CD 40th Anniversary Collection released by ...

Marianne Faithfull
Her erratic, self-titled debut features lovely baroque arrangements by Mike Leander and decent tunes like "As Tears Go By," and Jackie DeShannon's "Come and Stay With Me" and "In My Time of Sorrow," and Bacharach/David's "If I Never Get to Love You," as well as fairly crummy covers of hits by the Beatles, Herman's Hermits, and Petula Clark.

Rare, Live & Classic [Box]

by
Joan Baez
Spanning three discs, the box set Rare, Live & Classic is an odd mix of Joan Baez's best-known songs and rarities. For the hardcore collector, there are plenty of interesting items here, including previously unreleased duets with Bob Dylan, Donovan, Bill Wood, and Jeffrey Shurtleff, but for the casual fan, there's too much material; they would be ...

by
Malvina Reynolds
Although the scope of this anthology is wide, it shouldn't be mistaken for a definitive best-of retrospective. All of the selections are taken from albums released on Reynolds' own Cassandra label between 1970 and 1980, with the addition of a couple of spoken-word introductions from Susan Wengraf's film on the singer, Love It Like a Fool. That ...

by
Joan Baez
Joan Baez in Concert, Pt. 1, Baezs third widely distributed album, marked the apex of her success and influence as a traditional folksinger, her repertoire still almost wholly comprised of traditional folk songs delivered with only her own guitar as accompaniment. Actually recorded at various concerts, the album was phenomenal success, reaching ...

by
The Seekers
Five CDs on the Seekers may seem like overkill, and the $70 list price may provoke an "in-your-dreams" response even from fans. But this set works -- one listen fully justifies it on musical terms; the cost is only a little higher than comparable five-disc sets, and the unique range of material makes it a bargain. The set is broken up into five ...

They Call Us Au Go-Go Singers

by
The Au Go-Go Singers
1964, being the year of The Beatles, was also the very end of the folk group phenomenon. After the success of groups such as The Serendipity Singers and The New Christy Minstrels, there were countless 'clone groups', and indeed, The Au Go-Go Singers were one. However, the one thing that makes them interesting is the fact that they contained two ...

The Definitive Pye Collection

by
The Searchers
It used to be, with reissues of the Searchers' classic Pye Records sides, that the challenge was getting them to sound good. Since 20-bit and 24-bit remastering have become the norm, however, the only challenge for Sanctuary Records (or the Sequel and Castle Records imprints) seems to be how inexpensive they can make the group's U.K. CDs, and also ...

Best of Broadside 1962-1988

From the early '60s to the late '80s, Broadside magazine printed numerous topical songs by contemporary writers, in addition to articles and commentary. By far the most influential years of its life span were the earliest ones, in the early to mid-'60s, when it helped steer the folk movement toward original material that directly addressed modern ...

Had they not been overshadowed by that other Liverpool band, the Searchers might have been better remembered today -- certainly, they deserve to be. Alas, only those with the sharpest of memories seem to recall the '60s quartet's solid, if brief, string of pop/rock gems, full of glistening 12-string guitars, sweet vocal harmonies, and a classy ...

The British Are Coming [Box Set]
(2003)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
The British assault on America in the early-to-mid-'60s was a kinder, gentler invasion, an event that involved guitars, mop-tops, and rock-n-roll as opposed to guns and tanks. Furthermore, the invading forces met no resistance. Instead, American popular culture ecstatically embraced the new music because it reminded them of how much fun rock had ...

Malvina Reynolds
How many other musicians made their major-label recording debuts as grandmothers in their mid-sixties, as Malvina Reynolds did on this circa late-1966/early-1967 LP, produced by John Hammond? But those were different times, which saw ridiculously uncommercial, avowedly antiestablishment albums released by the labels of large corporations. And this ...

BBC Sessions

by
The Searchers
Though this double-CD collection presents 30 songs recorded by the Searchers for BBC sessions, it actually spans a relatively small portion of their career, from January 1965 to March 1967 (with over half the material coming from 1965 alone). The band recorded yet more BBC sessions, but these are the only ones (except for a few similar duplicate ...

Although it's missing one or two fairly strong tracks, this three-CD, 84-song set is a pretty definitive collection of the group's best '60s material for those who want to go beyond the greatest hits. Besides including all of their key A- and B-sides, it has an entire disc of their best '60s album tracks. The rarities disc includes foreign ...

The Searchers
There are worse things a once-great band can do than break up. They can NOT break up, and then try to regain lost fame by recreating their finest moments using all the benefits of modern pop technology -- like this. By 1971, Merseybeat veterans the Searchers were reduced to just a couple of founding members and a spot recycling their old hits on ...

This reviewer is usually loathe to give compilation albums the highest rating, as they have an unfair advantage over original albums; and it's not as though there aren't already good multi-CD sets on the Searchers, including their 30th Anniversary Collection from Sequel Records. But this two-disc, 56-song collection goes into territory where the ...
