The Website

with the domain name hosts - all beyond our control

sometime during the summer. It will be similar to
the recent Songbook release but with a few more
tracks.
Released
in August, the Reader's Digest 3 CD set - The
New Seekers - The Ultimate Collection, is the biggest
and best compilation yet of New Seekers material to find
it's way to CD and all but two tracks are from Peter Doyle's
time with the group. Sadly it is currently only available
to the UK Reader's Digest membership.

the DVD of the Live at the Royal Albert Hall, is set for

a few added “features” but no added songs.
