In addition to the New Seekers' original albums, an almost bewildering number of compilation albums have been released. Many of these contain the New Seekers' original recordings featuring Lyn Paul but many contain re-recordings of the New Seekers' hits by a later line-up. To help you distinguish which of these are the "real thing" the New Seekers' compilation albums are listed below.
