Customer Reviews
Far From The Originals
Georgie Girl was recorded by the original Seekers which was a very successful Australian folk group in the 60's and early 70's. This "new" group included none of the original members, with lead singer Judith Durham most notably missed. The "new" Seekers is little more than a studio-created commercial patchwork with little of the talent and charm of the original. Since none of their songs is available in iTunes, pick up the Seekers greatest hits collection (including Georgie Girl) at Amazon.
Comparing apples and oranges
What the other reviewers fail to notice is this is THE NEW SEEKERS not the orginal Seekers. The New Seekers established themselves with Look What They've Done To My Song and then went on to have minor hits with great covers of Melanie songs, most notably The Nickel Song and Beautiful People. They also had many international hits. They bounced back in the U.S. with I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing and Pinball Wizard. While other compilations cover their hits, and great secondary songs, more extensively this is a nice introduction to the group.
In addition to Georgy Girl...
The song I most remember from the Seekers (perhaps because I heard it often in the "beer hall" in the Ft. Sill, Oklahoma PX before we shipped out to Vietnam), was "A World of Our Own" --both as an anthem to a wish ("We'll build a world of our own, which no one else can find..."), and as just plain joyous, energetic, infectious singing! ( And this group captures none of that--not to put too fine a point on it.)
