Album of the Day

The folk boom and the British Invasion of the 1960s are sometimes seen as distinct, but there was a point of intersection: The Seekers. Technically, the foursome was formed in Melbourne, Australia, though they got their big break in England, arriving there as cruise ship entertainers and eventually signing to EMI Records. THE BEST OF THE SEEKERS includes all of the group's U.K. charting singles, among them “I'll Never Find Another You,” “Georgy Girl” and “The Carnival Is Over,” which topped the British chart on this day in 1965. With well-crafted arrangements and the bright harmonizing of Athol Guy, Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley and Judith Durham, the 22-track collection remains a hugely enjoyable listen.
