Recorded just before The Seekers split, Live At The Talk Of The Town captures the beautiful voice of Judith Durham in all its glory. Unfortunately, she never forged a successful solo career for herself. (UK:2)
"This is a very special album as it is the last live recording The Seekers made in this country before their split. Sub titled 'The Seekers say goodbye' it has some great songs and amusing dialogue. Best, of course, and most memorable and emotional, is The Carnival Is Over."
"The Seekers never went for gimmicks, they just made good music, music that has survived. Every song a gem. Judith Durham's crystal clear vocals are pure heaven. A reminder of one of the world's greatest ever groups."
"Great album, with some delicious live versions of their well-known songs. Anybody who is a Seekers fan will simply love this album."
"Having outsold many major bands, with their superb vocals, close harmonies and secret weapon - Judith Durham, The Seekers were on a sure fire road to success."
"Fabulous performances all round, though Judith Durham's voice shines like a beacon, not just within the group, but from the 1960s right up to the present day."
"Live At The Talk Of The Town is an extraordinary album, as well as the group's final effort together, recorded just a week before the quartet dissolved. It features the group in uncommonly loose-limbed form, having lots of fun with the audience, quite obviously enjoying the performance they're giving, and throwing themselves into it head first; after four years of whirlwind international success. Perhaps they knew it would be their last hurrah and their only live recording. They go through their expected hits, backed by the resident Talk of the Town Orchestra. Judith Durham stands out, putting 100 percent into Music Of The World Turnin' and then breaks that barrier on I'll Never Find Another You, achieving an exquisite balance between power and delicacy of nuance."
