The New Seekers recorded 12 albums, 9 of which feature Lyn Paul. These are listed below in chronological order, together with an album released by Peter, Paul & Marty, which features Lyn on backing vocals, and a live CD released in 2007.
When the New Seekers re-formed (without Lyn Paul) in 1976, the group signed to CBS. The label's biggest stars were based in the USA and encompassed a wide range of musical styles, including easy listening (Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis and Barbra Streisand), singer-songwriters (Bob Dylan and Billy Joel), rock (Chicago and Boz Scaggs) and soul (Earth Wind and Fire, the Emotions and Deniece Williams). Other UK artists recording for CBS at the time included Tina Charles, David Essex and the Clash, plus "one-hit wonders" the Dead End Kids and the Kursaal Flyers.
Side 2:
The Seeker | Scorn Not His Simplicity | Don't Go Breaking My Heart | Country Lovin'* | Music Medley: Sing Me / I Believe In Music / I Got The Music In Me / Listen To The Music / Dance To The Music / Money Makes The World Go Around / Music
The New Seekers' comeback LP featuring newcomers Danny Finn and Kathy Ann Rae, who took over from Peter Oliver and Lyn Paul. Songs include a lively version of Dolly Parton'sThe Seeker and less than inspiring covers of the Dr. Hook hit A Little Bit More and Elton John and Kiki Dee's classic Don't Go Breaking My Heart.
More interesting is the second track on Side 2, Scorn Not His Simplicity. This poignant song was written by Phil Coulter in memory of his son, who was born with Down's syndrome and died at the age of three. Sinead O'Connor recorded a cover version on her 1994 album Universal Mother.

Recorded live during the New Seekers' 2006 tour of the UK, this CD was the first 'new release' by the group since the 1980s. In addition to the hits made famous by the 1970s line-up of the group, the album includes cover versions of hits by the Hollies (I Can't Let Go), Marmalade (Reflections Of My Life) and Rod Stewart (I Don't Want To Talk About It / First Cut Is The Deepest). Also included is a song more often associated with Simon and Garfunkel (Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream), as well as the old Dolly Parton favourite The Seeker and four songs written by the Bee Gees (Islands In The Stream, Massachusetts, Run To Me and To Love Somebody).
