This is a neat 16-song Searchers compilation, utilizing the best current masters as of 2004, and a selection balanced between well-known hits, and interesting covers and album tracks. The result is a good cross-section of the group's early work on Pye Records, encompassing their best-known singles and some of their best additional work, some of it -- such as "Some Other Guy" -- surprisingly hard rocking, the rest (including covers of Arthur Alexander et al.) amazingly soulful. The price is right and the quality is excellent, and this is a very handy way for the neophyte to discover the group.
