What happened to the talk awhile back about the Searchers recording some new songs with Tom Petty?

That's all it was ED "talk".

The Searchers now include a springsteen number in the act belive it or not "Seven Nights To Rock"

It all stems back, I believe, to an interview Frank gave where he stated that the only way he could see The Searchers getting a new recording contract would be if they were to record with someone like Tom Petty.

It would be high time to pull the Tom Petty strings then. This would be a great combination, Tom Petty and The Searchers,although the "Petty Searchers" would be a less than glamorous name for the group.

"The Pet-chers" "Tom Petty and the Heartsearchers"
"Search Petty". Hmmm...

After all, Tom Petty did do a version of "Needles And Pins" on the "Pack Up The Plantation - Live" album.

Petty did a studio version of "Needles and Pins" with Stevie Nicks that was, to put it charitably, underwhelming (although a young secretary at the office thought I'd like "this new song").
