The Searchers recorded over 100 sides for Pye Records between 1963 and the end of the decade, 30 of which are presented here in this two-disc set, including a compelling and undeniably infectious cover of
Sonny Bono's "Needles and Pins" as well as the hits "Sweets for My Sweet" and "Love Potion No. 9." The group's charming version of "Sugar and Spice," unfortunately, is absent. Still, at 30 tracks, this is a nice, long look at a fun band. ~ Steve Leggett
