I grew up listening to The Searchers and rate their version of Needles and Pins as the best. But this version is just as outstanding and gives the song a fresh sound. Good job.
I prefer the 60s version, but this is awesome aswell...a bit of the 80s in the 60s...but live has to be my favourite. Saw them about 2 weeks ago live...amazing night. Of course everything was 10x louder than usual, to me...I'm 14
Tony coudn't stay sober sad! , Mike chose to split from the band and Spencer and Frank do very well . Very few bands stay original, some get better some not, you can choose to feel however you wish. I like the gutairs of the original pairing but I still enjoy the stage presence of the group as a band. They Rock !
Its okay but it hasn't got that original sound coz its not sung buy the original guys!! you need MIke, Tony and Chris these are the guys that made that sound Chris suppying the high notes and NONE of them are here!!
@squizzy104 I have to agree.....The original line up, Mike, Chris, Tony and John -- they had it all. With no Chris on drums and high harmony, it's just not the same. BUT, it is not even possible to bring Chris and Tony back (RIP) and Mike has his own Searchers now. So....we will have to treasure the recordings of the originals, and be glad John and Frank are doing the best they can and Mike Pender's Searchers, as well! It's all good. :-)
@ChrisCurtisFan I DO like this version in fact the more I here it the more I like it...Its got an Eighteis twist to it. I am quite sure if they had have done this in the eighteis and went on Top Of The Pops (weekly pop show) to show it at the time like other groups of the sixties were doing mixes this would have been a big hit!! Keep Rockin! Ian xxx
Okay. First up, this is the 80's era, wherein the new wave of sounds have been invented, so we can't simply blame them for arranging some parts and making it sound 'in' with the 80's groove in the music. It still sounds good, not just better than their original version during the 60's. But anyway and any what, what do we care? This is still The Searchers, let's just think they made a remix of the song and all's good.
@BeelMustaine The Ramones version is "different". Better to some and not better to others. Music is art and is the eye of the beholder. The true definitive version is the Searchers hit version of 1963.
@dbailey62 The Ramones version has a much more of a raw feeling to it, that's why I like it better. This one sounds good but to 80s for me great song though
Been a while since I posted [about 200,000 views ago] and would like some feedback on a conclusion I have come to. Watching a network live Maroon 5 song the other day , I was appauled. That's music? I literally could write that trash in 5 minutes. It has no feeling, soul, or musical harmonic flow. Not that all todays music is that bad, but OMG, that rubbish would have been tossed with the garbage in the 60's. How does this crap become popular? Your thoughts, I'll post mine later.
thanks to post this beutiful band love it ,and time went flay so fast great hit i look back it is hard to belive that it was long time ago and feel like yesterday never will be the same years like 60 and 70 the best time I miss it. now I"m 60 years old but I still enyoy this is great sound the best .
The Searchers were oringinally a 60s band so please get facts right. Yes they are still touring today and there is still 2 of the original band members in it. This is a vid made in Germany and I think the girl is VERY nice.
@11xzxzxz Well, so far the vote is 532 to 40 so there are at least 39 others that don't like it either although you are a small minority. Don't fret 11xzxzxz, there are no plans to delete the original.
@dbailey62 Sure but if you go to The Searches they would have 1000 to 5. I don't like to be in the minority as if that means I am high brow or have better taste but so often that is how I feel. When Michael Jackson or Justine Beiber or Jack Johnson, mr derivative with bland songs and OK, a few OK or good ones - is loved over Neil Young or Marshall Crenshaw or Graham Parker or Eddie Money or Lloyd Cole , Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan etc . something is wrong and it's here to stay.
@dbailey62 Ya I understand where you're coming from. I'm quite impressed by the numbers that have actually come to this clip though. It's by far the most viewed Searchers video on the web.
Thanks for posting this because I love this song and this version is pretty good. Also, thanks for telling me who Smokie is. Actually, Smokie's version isn't too bad either.
@kodifeeder I was being a bit of a jerk with that reply I must admit. They were a British band popular in the early 70's. I actually had heard of them. I think a version of them is still on the road today. Sorry about the snarkiness. I just couldn't contain myself at that mment in time!
mike pender, john mcnally, tony jackson, and chris curtis ... will always be "THE SEARCHERS" to me. their sound was never matched no matter who replaced one another through the years. no matter their dislikes or dissagrements .... and they knew, and know it ..... deep down ..... too!
What a pair Spence and Tina made. Both Young with cute little dimples and (Hopefully) Great Lives before them. Glory Days indeed! God what a Woman like her can do to your Soul----------WOW!
The only original in this video is John McNally who you see at 1-27. The lead singer Frank Allen is almost an original, joining maybe 2 years after they starrted in the early 60's.
I've never in my life been more captivated by a female more than Tina. Words can't begin to describe the aura she creates in this video. I'll never forget her.
I agree with Maken and being almost the same age, we grew up with the best music of all time. I know every generation says that but the Beatles invasion changed music history forever bringing us the bands like the Searchers, Hollies, Zombies, Kinks and many many more. We were lucky. We are lucky. brownie
Let me get something off my chest. At 60 yr old I've seen , heard, and performed more music than most of you. Music is something felt deep down in the soul that can take you to a high seldom reached in our day to day living. Lots of music does this and this version of needles and pins does it for me. Britney Spears singing "oh baby" does not.
It was Bob Dylan in a not so recent interview that said he had no problem with copyright violations on downloading from the internet. Reason, the "modern" music wasn't worth crap so no one was stealing anything anyway.
I am pushing 58 and grew up in music. Not BS'ing , on my Mom's side Lucy and George Fullerton (co-founder of Fender Guitar) were my aunt and uncle. We all lived in the same town with the Fender mfg plant. BTW Lucy Fullerton died in May 2009 and George two months later in July 2009. I was fortunate enought to know a great many musicians who had played in the late 50's on to the late 70's. I've always play'd in some group since I was 17. Just Bass.
@maken410 Completely agree!! Music is a natural high... I saw the Serachers for the 26th time last Friday, I am 29 and I took my father who is 61. Fantastic band and still so so water tight!!!
Disco ? Tried to jazz up!! What are you guys smokin? One of the very few old songs that is better than the original. NO , let me say the only one that is better . Normally I'm turned off by artist that try to change the original sound but this one blew me away.
Horrible. Original had an innovative guitar and was great. The stench of disco is washed all over this. Sonny Bono would be turning over in his grave.
Yeah call it whatever if it smells like a skunk...I say kill it first. I mean if I hadn't heard the original I guess this is OK but all of those who give me thumbs down probably don't know know the originals. Touchy people. The harmonies ruin this, and I like 80s synthesizers but not on this overproduced songs.
i agree totally- the originals were raw and genuine tis is like a bloated fish. Still the searchers are fab in whatever guise. they were hopoing for a hollies revival since by this time they shared the same producer. Also the big boss BS was interested in both bands.
Good metaphor and you can stick pins in a overstuffed bloated fish. Yeah I had heard BS liked Hollies and but didn't know if the Searchers registered with him. After all this was a great almost ground-breaking song but it probably was far better than .. it helps if you can write your own songs.
It wasn't intended to though. It was a contractual obligation recording. They had signed to do an album with a German label, Coconut Records but the label insisted on two rerecordings of old hits thus "Needles and Pins" and "Sweets for My Sweets" were two of the tracks on the "Hungry Hearts" album.
my mum always has her old songs on in the car or something.and i've grown to like this so much that i've even put it on my ipod :) "i had to run away, and get down on my knees and prayyyy." what an amazing song.
I watched a documentary about Sonny and Cher today. I was surprised to learn that Sonny Bono co-wrote Needles and Pins, one of my favorite 60's rock songs.
MUCH better than Mike Pender - this is the REAL Searchers while Mike (although a good artist) is still trying to use his time in The Searchers for his benefit. Why did he quit since he has nothing new to present? At the same time the REAL Searchers are presenting a great show with new songs as well as the oldies.
I grew up listening to The Searchers and rate their version of Needles and Pins as the best. But this version is just as outstanding and gives the song a fresh sound. Good job.

Always loved this tune by this group and was a fan of Jackie D. also.

Maybe they could have covered The Frog Chorus or Mary Had A Little Lamb to get some credibility ?

It's a Sonny Bono song, but i guess that Jackie Deshannon was the first to sing this song.
By the way, i don't really like this version, but...

Great melody ( courtesy of Jack Nitzche ) and really wonderful lyrics written by Sonny Bono.

This song was written by Sonny Bono back before he became a singer.

Some would say Sonny never really became a singer. ;) Co-written only, with Jack Nitzche.

I watched a documentary about Sonny and Cher today. I was surprised to learn that Sonny Bono co-wrote Needles and Pins, one of my favorite 60's rock songs.

MUCH better than Mike Pender - this is the REAL Searchers while Mike (although a good artist) is still trying to use his time in The Searchers for his benefit. Why did he quit since he has nothing new to present? At the same time the REAL Searchers are presenting a great show with new songs as well as the oldies.
