The Seekers Complete

The Seekers Complete is a 5-disc box set by Australian band The Seekers. It was released in December 1995 following the group's induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame at the ARIA Music Awards of 1995.

Reception
Bruce Eder from AllMusic wrote, "The set is broken up into five volumes, the first (1963–1964) covering the group's early history: their original 12-song demo, coupled with parts of their debut Australian album, Introducing the Seekers. The music is a mix of traditional Australian, English, and American folk songs spiced with American gospel. They do themselves credit, whether they're touching on familiar folk standards or Australian repertory, all displaying a beguiling purity and infectious joy in the singing. The second (1964–1965) and third (1966–1967) discs cover their album tracks from the group's classic era, from early 1964 up to the end of their last full year of success in 1967. The sources for those 40 songs are impeccable, although this is also the period already covered well by various hits anthologies. The fourth, "Hits, B-sides, and the '90's," pushes the group's hit singles, starting with "I'll Never Find Another You" and ending with "Days of My Life" onto a separate disc. The eight 1990s tracks, cut in the studio and in concert on the Seekers' reunion tour, show the group still singing strongly, if not quite as agilely. Disc Five, "Studio and Concert Rarities," offers live tracks from their return to Australia as stars in 1965. Each disc comes with separate notes, which are generally informative and helpful."

Omissions

 * Seven tracks from the 1963 first album, Introducing the Seekers, were not included, apparently so as to avoid duplication of songs already represented by Audition Tape track versions.
 * The 1966 track, I Wish You Could Be Here, written by Bruce Woodley and Paul Simon, from the Come the Day album, was peculiarly omitted from the collection.
 * The 1994 re-recordings of A World of Our Own and Georgy Girl were omitted, though a B-side (Keep A Dream In Your Pocket), newly recorded for one of the single releases, is included.
 * The collection does not include any material from the albums released by the band during the 1970s and 1980s following the departure of Judith Durham.
