AMG Review of Greatest Hits [EMI]

Steve Leggett
All Music Guide

A very generous 28-track single-disc set of the best of the Seekers, this collection has everything the casual listener might need and more. The big hits, "Georgy Girl" and "I'll Never Find Another You," are here, along with pleasant but hardly distinctive versions of an assortment of folk revival-era standards like "Five Hundred Miles," and the dilemma of a singing group caught between folk and AM radio pop without a distinctive in-house songwriter is apparent. Still, the Seekers were a polished, professional group and Judith Durham's warm, appealing Judy Collins-like voice is always a joy to hear.
