Sugar and Spice (The Searchers album)

Last updated

The Beatles did "Some Other Guy". We did "Some Other Guy". The Big Three did "Some Other Guy". Everybody did "Some Other Guy". But, if you listen to all the versions of "Some Other Guy", or "Money", you’ll find that no two versions are the same.

– John McNally [7]

Release

Sugar and Spice was released as a mono LP album on the Pye label in the UK in Autumn 1963, Pye NPL 18089. It entered the LP charts on 16 November 1963 and went to No. 5 (the band's first LP Meet the Searchers still occupied No. 3 that same week) [8] and stayed for 21 weeks. [9] Four of the album's tracks were later issued on the EP Hungry for Love, which went to No. 4 in the UK charts. [10] Sugar And Spice LP was not available in the US. Instead, five of the album's twelve tracks appeared on Kapp Records' release, Meet The Searchers / Needles and Pins , issued in North America only (and with two more on another US-only LP, This Is Us ).
