Merseybeat group The Searchers reached the UK top twenty album chart for the fourth time with Sounds Like. They would have to wait another 43 years for their next appearance. A compilation CD from this seminal sixties group, including their many hit singles, should be a must for any fan of pop music from this era. (UK:8)
"The fourth album opens with one of their strongest tracks, Everybody Come & Clap Your Hands, a Barry/Greenwich number with some soul and gospel elements, which moves from strength-to-strength."
"The Searchers were one of the best of the British beat groups who emerged in the mid-sixties here. I never tire of listening to their material." "The Searchers are one of the most underrated bands from the 1960s."
"Although generally overlooked in the sixties they were definite pioneers of the twelve string guitar and close harmonies style that came in their wake."
"Because The Beatles had the monopoly on fame and fortune as Liverpool's biggest band of the 1960s, many others were overlooked."
"The Searchers are one of my favourite Merseybeat bands, and had many great songs."
"If you aren't a baby boomer, you might not catch the sound. But the double tracking of The Searchers was their trademark, and they had a dreamy sound that made them stand out at the very start from the other British Invasion groups."
"For a brief time their only rivals were The Beatles, which alone shows how good they were, and they were good. Their day may be long over but what a day it was."
"Like so many of their contemporaries, they can actually play instruments and produce music that is timeless."
