New Seekers - The Very Best Of The New Seekers (20 tracks) +Album Reviews

Original versions

Simon King | Palm Springs, Ca USA | 09/14/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"By far the best collection from the New Seekers to date. This is not a remake version but all the great vocals of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Peter Doyle, Paul Layton and all. Some of the best music they ever recorded"

A good collection, mostly of their later hits

Harald Anderson | Washington, DC United States | 04/27/2002

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The CD shows the group's ability to adapt to a wide range of styles and genres. I was a bit diasppointed, however, that many of their earlier hits were not included (only about a half of their greatest hits LP are included), including their best Melanie covers (especially the Nickel Song). And that they included a lot of the group's later hits, i.e., after there had been some noteworthy changes of band members. Their early material is still great - it really shows their ingenuity - but the later songs included here are a bit too parrot-like.
Still, an album that is worth having."

A Blast of Nostalgia

C. MacNeil | Fort Wayne, IN USA | 09/24/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"A terrific addition to those libraries of nostalgia whose music propels us back to a time that was simpler, or at least we thought it was. "Beautiful People," "Beg, Steal or Borrow," "Circle" and "The Greatest Song I've Ever Heard;" all those classic gems and more are in this stellar collection from what was one of the more underrated groups of its time. With their graceful harmony and lyrics that, if they're really listened to, simplify the emotions, the New Seekers give us a break from contemporary stresses, even just for a few minutes. "The Greatest Song I've Ever Heard" is more than a song title."
