Shut Up And Shoot

"Peace" is a double-CD conceptual album. Twenty-three tracks, two hours and twenty-seven minutes. Two years of intense research on the endless theme of "war and peace" revisiting a series of historical events, from 1890 to the present day. These events were reenacted trying to find a kind of justice for those involved. Stories of courage and the good that exist in man bring some hope and point to a future. At best, this future is uncertain, unknown. But what is certain is that man is capable of fulfilling beautiful dreams and terrible nightmares.

Deluxe 4CD set showcasing one of the most notable albums of the mid-1980s, and the phenomenon that surrounded it.

In a way, the Searchers are a footnote. Never entering the upper echelon of British Invasion beat groups, the band nevertheless had legs, outlasting all but the titans of the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Who. The Searchers always flew just below the radar, even if they had something of a renaissance at the tail end of the '70s with a new lineup headed by lead singer – and only constant – John McNally, with his lead guitarist companion Mike Pender directing the band through two superb power pop LPs and their jangle echoing in the stable of Shelter Records, heard strongly in the early records of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. They are best known for their earliest hits – 1963's "Sweets for My Sweet," 1964's "Needles and Pins" – which may be because they were their biggest hits but it's also because the Searchers never abandoned their pure pop template throughout their entire career, something that becomes blindingly evident over the course of the four-disc box set Hearts in Their Eyes.
