All Music Album Review

Castle's 1988 Searchers Collection compiles 24 cuts from the legendary British Invasion collective's Merseybeat heydays, including "Sugar and Spice," "Love Potion No. 9," "Have You Ever Loved Somebody," and "Needles and Pins." While solid overall, there are better collections out there, with Rhino's Greatest Hits being the most economical and the exhaustive, three-disc Definitive Pye Collection being the most extravagant.
