About this album

The Seekers’ Greatest Hits distils the Australian group’s elegant folk-pop into one of the most approachable compilations of the 1960s. Issued in 1968, it brings together the harmony-rich songs that made the quartet international favourites, from the plaintive beauty of “The Carnival Is Over” to the upbeat, chart-topping “Georgy Girl”. The set reflects the group’s blend of clean vocal arrangements, acoustic warmth and accessible songwriting, a sound that helped bring folk-influenced pop to a wide mainstream audience. As a snapshot of their peak years, it remains a fine introduction to one of Australia’s most successful acts.
