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. Released 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 number 1’s. 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 5 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.
