“Popcorn Double Feature” / “Lovers” (Pye 7N. 17225) January 1967
The Searchers | Popcorn, Double Feature | (Pye) 1967 | Again, the trouble is lack of immediate distinctiveness. But this one is a good song, and the presentation is commercial. (Record Mirror, 21/01/67)
Every time I bump into Frankie Allen these days I get accused of never liking a Searchers record. Biased that’s me. Well it’s not true and to prove it I will now praise the latest. Not because I think it’s going to be a huge hit but because it’s certainly the best record they’ve made.
A very nice production job that actually sounds as though some thought has gone into it. Words are about how daft the world is. Hear, hear. But I’d liked a bit more melody. (Disc & Music Echo, 21/01/67)
