U.S. albums
- Various Searchers singles, EP cuts and album tracks were compiled to make albums for release in the U.S. These albums do not bear particular similarity in track listings to the original British albums, even if the title of a U.S. album is similar. Note that virtually all of these albums contained some material that had been issued on singles and/or EPs in the U.K., but not on contemporaneous U.K. albums:
- 1964 – Meet The Searchers
- 1964 – Hear Hear!
- 1964 – This Is Us
- 1965 – The New Searchers LP (Chris, John, Mike, & Frank)
Compilation albums
- There are many, many Searchers compilation albums, but Smash Hits and Smash Hits Vol. 2 included a number of chart hits that had never made it to a regular album up to that time. Play the System also contained early 1960s songs that did not appear on previous albums.
- 1965 – Smash Hits
- 1967 – Smash Hits Vol. 2
- 1987 – Play the System
- 2008 – The Very Best of The Searchers (UK #11)
Note: This is the only compilation album to chart in the UK.
