Well after what was said I just had to go and find that tape. The Christmas Carols are Silent Night and White Christmas. It is on a tape titled Searchers 30 rarities. Also on there is Back to the War, Changing, Indigo Spring, You Got Me, In the Heat of the Night, Love Song, Beautiful Dreamer. Won't put the full list up here for the moment.Comments anyone???????

I would be most interested in your review of these songs Pam, as I have not heard the Seachers do any of them. I would, however, urge you to post the entire song list for the purpose of discussion.

Okay here it is. The World is Waiting for Tomorrow, Desdemona, Come On Back to Me, Love Is Everywhere, And a Button, Sing Singer Sing, Vahevalla, Solitaire, Spicks and Specks, When You Walk in the Room (1972), I Really Don't Have the Time, Falling In Love Again, Beautiful Dreamer, Always It's You, Love Song, Sick and Tired (80s version), In the Heat of the Night, You Got Me, Shoot Em Up Baby, Somebody Shot the Lollypop Man, Pussy Willow Dragon, Kinky Kathy Abernathey, Suzanna, Indigo Spring, Over the Weekend, Umbrella Man, Back to the War, Changing, Silent Night/White Christmas, Johnny B. Goode.
It is quite some time since I played it so will have to have another listen then let you know what I think. In the mean time you lot can pick the bones out of this lot.

The thread was unreleased Searchers recordings, the two xmas songs you mention Pam were or still are to some degree featured in the act at this time of year but have never been recorded, I suspect the tape you have of these songs is a live version. Of the list above Love Song(an alltime favourite of mine again is probaly a live versionas will be Johhny B Good. Three songs can be classed as unreleased recordings, all the rest have now been commercially released
