It's difficult to grasp just how big The Seekers were at one point. In 1965 the 'unfashionable' Australian group were bigger than the Beatles per record sales reportedly, and as much as the incredible Shane Warne was rightly revered he never played in front of 200,000 Aussies.
 
Very sad to see the passing of Judith Durham . To me , no decade come anywhere close to the 60s in terms of the music scene . My 45 collection was vast with records from all areas .
