Don't Hide It Away

I took The Searchers 30th Anniversary Collection with me during my travels out of town yesterday and was particularly taken by the McNally/Pender/Allen composition and recording "Don't Hide It Away." I was taken by this song in a minor key which seems to have been released in the UK as the B Side to "Take It Or Leave It" in April 1966. The A Side only realized the 31st position in the charts. Still it is a really interesting song with a slight "Zombies" feel, the group not the movie. I was taken by the piano which reminded me of the Zombies to some extent. I am wondering it anyone reading this list has additional information with regard to this track.

I would list this as one of my favourite Searchers tracks, I suspect Tony Hatch played a big part in the production of the track and probably plays the lilting piano.

Thanks Roy. I don't know why I have not listened more closely to this song before.
