Negative Positive
Title: Not the genuine article!
Review: The only word to use here is disappointment and false advertising. This CD does not feature the original versions of the songs that many of us know and love but substandard, obviously rushed re-recordings featuring former Searcher Mike Pender and a new backing band.The renditions are uninspired with the only redeeming factor being that Mike Pender's voice is on display.It should be noted that this CD is in breech of an agreement between Mike Pender and the Searchers that requires that Mike Pender's group not be known as the Searchers but as "Mike Pender's Searchers.The original Searchers, led by founder John McNally, are still active and touring the world.
Is the review positive or negative?
