The Searchers  zijn samen met The Beatles en Gerry & the Pacemakers de grondleggers van de Merseybeat. Na diverse samenstellingen ontstond in 1961 de bezetting van The Searchers zoals die in 1963 wereldwijd zou doorbreken. Ofschoon The Beatles in feite de voorlopers waren van de Liverpoolbands, waren het The Searchers die als eerste van die lichting doorbraken in Nederland.

Hun “Sweets for my Sweet” was de eerste Merseybeatsong die de Nederlandse hitparade beklom. In hun succes-periode (1963 t/m 1968) brachten The Searchers 22 singles en 5 albums uit.

Reden genoeg om nu uit te komen met The Searchers – Collected! Op de 3 CD’s staan de grootste hits, beste album tracks en speciale uitvoeringen van hun bekendste hits in het Duits en Frans.
