10. Sparrow Song (Live On, 1989)
“One of those songs that we were forced to sing in infants school. The girls always seemed to enjoy it more than the boys, but I could take it or leave it.”
9. Sinner Man (The Seekers, 1965)
“Sinner Man.” It was an up-tempo folk song, with acoustic guitars strumming as fast as can be. It is one of the great lost folk songs of the mid-1960s.”
8. Turn Turn Turn (Come the Day, 1966)
“Pete Seeger’s “Turn Turn Turn” – interesting how the acoustic version of this song is almost unrecognizable, compared to electronic version recorded by The Byrds. You won’t believe how many beautiful songs are included in this set, sung by one of the most beautiful voices ever – Judith Durham’s.”
7. When Will the Good Apples Fall (Live On, 1989)
“The Seekers sing well together and always choose songs I love to play over and over again. When Will the Good Apples Fall is no exception. Highly recommended.”

6. Some Day, One Day (Live On, 1989)
“The Seekers had something that’s often lacking in today’s performers: they had good voices and really could sing. This set, which contains a couple of duplications, is a great compilation of the most popular of their songs as well as some of the more obscure numbers.”
5. A World Of Our Own (A World Of Our Own, 1965)
“The Seekers can best be described as a slick pop/folk group from Australia. They consisted of lead singer Judith Durham, guitarist Pete Potger, guitarist Bruce Woodley, and stand-up bassist Athol Guy. They are best remembered in The United States for their top five hits, “Georgy Girl” and “I’ll Never Find Another You.” I found their May 1965 release their best. “A World Of Our Own” reached number 19 on the BILLBOARD MAGAZINE Pop Singles Chart. It reached number three in the U.K. It was an up-tempo tune with Durham’s vocal floating above the tight harmonies.”
4. I Am Australian (The Seekers: 25 Year Reunion Celebration Live In Concert, 1995)
“They have great harmony and their material includes folk and pop music. They are from Australia so there are also songs for Australians.”
3. Wild Rover (The Seekers, 1965)
“These are the best of a timeless group and I for one am grateful of owning this CD and to be able to listen for hours to four great voices blended in perfect harmony.”
2. Georgy Girl (Come the Day, 1966)
“Judith and the guys’ vocal style sounds like it would’ve sounded quaint even back in the mid-60s. However, setting that aside “Georgy Girl” is great – you can really put yourself in Georgy’s shoes when listening and imagine you’re the receiver of the song’s comforting yet stern advice (even for me, a dude). A catchy, yet hauntingly bittersweet sound too.”
1. I’ll Never Find Another You (The Seekers, 1965)
“An interesting one! This one had mass appeal in the UK, as it seemed to touch upon all the music going on the country at the time – The nascent folk movement, the mainstream pop audience and the rapidly developing British rock scene. The Seekers were damn good at their craft, which I think is epitomized by the wonderful harmony of Judith Durham and the combined backing vocals.”
