The Searchers discography


In their native Britain, between 1963 and 2019, the English rock band the Searchers released eight studio albums, nine extended plays and 30 singles. However, the band's international discography is complicated, due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly in the US. In some cases, the US version would be an entirely different album with different cover photos and tracks.
The early "core" albums and singles released from 1963 to 1967 were originally on Pye Records in the United Kingdom, and Kapp Records in the United States. Later, they released records on Liberty, RCA, Sire and PRT Records. Their last studio album Hungry Hearts was released only in Germany on Coconut Records. The Searchers did not release any official live album in the UK. Philips Records recorded their performance in 1963 at the German Star-Club, Hamburg. These songs were later released in many variations especially in Germany and the US. Many UK album tracks were also released as a singles in different countries and sometimes became hits. Additionally, they released three SPs with German language versions of their hits and one EP in French.
The Searchers' discography was originally released on the vinyl format, with full-length long plays, shorter EPs and singles. Over the years, the collection has also been released on many compact discs.
