The Searchers | Take Me For What I’m Worth | (Pye) 1965

Nov 11, 2025

“Take Me For What I’m Worth” / “Too Many Miles” (Pye 7N. 15992) November 1965

The Searchers | Take Me For What I’m Worth | (Pye) 1965 | Mike Pender takes lead vocal on this one and it hardly sounds like the Searchers of yore. It’s a beat ballad, with excellent guitar work and it builds and builds to obvious hit appeal. The beat gets stronger and stronger, but there are also moments of tranquillity (almost). Good lyrics here.
Flip: is one of their own songs, with added instrumental qualities. Top Forty Tip. (Record Mirror 04/12/65)

Transistor Pop | Podcast

TRANSISTOR POP

the ‘Transistor Pop’ podcast has been created in conjunction with my YouTube Channel and will become the definitive place to be for your regular prescription of exciting music and sounds from a time long gone and fading fast in people’s memories.

I will explore 1960s teenbeat, folk-rock, fuzz & Farfisa mayhem, psychedelia and bubblegum pop with random excursions into post-sixties garage punk . . . all interspersed with vintage radio adverts and movie promos.

The format is tight and totally wired: 8 songs, 4 adverts, and your expanded mind. Every mix will meet my high standards of sound quality. All uploads are in FLAC. Bring your own beer and acid.
