Details from Grapefruit Records:
The Searchers - still with stalwart members John McNally and Frank Allen
in their line-up - recently announced they would retire at the end of
March 2019, bringing to an end an astonishing unbroken run of around
sixty years for one of the most influential and enduring groups in
British pop history.
One of the more introspective acts to emerge from
the Merseybeat group wars of the early Sixties, The Searchers' high
vocal harmonies, jingle-jangle guitars and tales of male vulnerability
saw them notch a trio of UK No. 1 singles and several popular EPs and
albums, with debut LP "Meet The Searchers" spending an incredible ten
months in the listings. But although their chart statistics were
impressive, The Searchers' place in the rock history books owes at least
as much to their seismic level of influence, with the likes of 'Needles
And Pins' and the peerless 'When You Walk In The Room' providing The
Byrds - and, by extension, the likes of Tom Petty, REM and a whole host
of skinny-tied power poppers - with their musical template.
Although the
group made some fine records throughout their prodigious career, their
peak period in terms of sales, influence and musical excellence occurred
during a dazzling four-year mid-Sixties spell with the Pye label.
The
first-ever complete anthology of one of British pop's most pivotal
catalogues, the 6-CD set When You Walk In The Room assembles all of the
group's Pye recordings, with mono and stereo versions of their albums
joined by studio outtakes, foreign language recordings and, on the sixth
disc, a treasure trove of non-LP singles and EP tracks.
Housed in a
clambox design that includes a 36 page booklet with a new 6000 word
essay on the band, When You Walk In The Room is a sumptuous tribute to
an act who, for a glorious year or two, were arguably the country's only
serious rivals to The Beatles.
