The Seekers' second LP was built around their Top 20 hit "A World of Our Own," which, like "I'll Never Find Another You," had been written by Tom Springfield. (Curiously, "I'll Never Find Another You" was not included on either of the first two LPs, although it had been a hit before "A World of Our Own.") The title track is an acceptable pop-folk song in the "I'll Never Find Another You" fashion. But the rest is rather ho-hum fare in the style of Peter, Paul & Mary with a slightly more prominent beat. Bruce Woodley sneaks in with a couple of compositions, but most of this is traditional folk with far less pop flair than Tom Springfield's songs, such as "This Land Is Your Land," "Allentown Jail," "Just a Closer Walk With Thee," and "You Can Tell the World." A couple early Bob Dylan covers and a version of Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds" reinforce the sense of a group whose sound was still more suited for 1963 than 1965, on album at least.

The Seekers are an Australian folk-influenced pop quartet, originally formed in Melbourne in 1962. They were the first Australian pop music group to achieve major chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States. They were popular during the 1960s with their best-known configuration as: Judith Durham on vocals, piano and tambourine; Athol Guy on double bass and vocals; Keith Potger on twelve-string guitar, banjo and vocals; and Bruce Woodley on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
The group had Top 10 hits in the 1960s with "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" (written by Paul Simon), "Georgy Girl" (the title song of the film of the same name), and "The Carnival is Over" by Tom Springfield, the last a rendition of a Russian folk song. The Seekers have sung it at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including World Expo 88 and the Paralympics. It is still one of the top 50 best-selling singles in the UK. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described their style as "concentrated on a bright, uptempo sound, although they were too pop to be considered strictly folk and too folk to be rock."In 1968, they were named as joint "Australians of the Year" – the only group thus honoured. In July of that year, Durham left to pursue a solo career and the group disbanded. The band has reformed periodically, and in 1995 they were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. "I'll Never Find Another You" was added to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Sounds of Australia registry in 2011. Woodley's and Dobe Newton's song "I Am Australian", which was recorded by the Seekers, and by Durham with Russell Hitchcock and Mandawuy Yunupingu, has become an unofficial Australian anthem. With "I'll Never Find Another You" and "Georgy Girl", the band also achieved success in the United States, but not nearly at the same level as in the rest of the world. As of 2004, the Seekers have sold over fifty million records worldwide.
The Seekers were individually honoured, in the Queen's Birthday Honours, as Officers of the Order of Australia recipients, in June, 2014.

It was on this album that all of the Seekers' varied attributes – including Judith Durham's powerful vocals, the increasingly virtuoso-level playing (especially on the acoustic 12-string) and singing of Bruce Woodley, Athol Guy, and Keith Potger, and Woodley's burgeoning songwriting talent – kicked in at their peak at the same time. The album opens with the title track, a Woodley original that's one of the best folk-style recordings to come out of the British Invasion and also one of the Seekers' (and Durham's) greatest performances, hers and the others' voices, coupled with their acoustic guitars, evoking the sound of bells chiming.
A pair of Woodley collaborations with Paul Simon (dating from the latter's "English period"), "Red Rubber Ball" and the unfairly neglected "I Wish You Could Be Here," are also first-rate if not quite as overtly startling; and their covers of others' songs range across the spectrum, from the Springfields' classic "Island of Dreams" to a very formal yet soaring "Turn, Turn, Turn," and the Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'," are mostly worthwhile – the major exception is a too-dramatic rendition of "Yesterday," but it is made up for by their versions of the Gibson-Camp folk standard "Well, Well, Well," Doug Kershaw's "Louisiana Man," and Tom Paxton's "The Last Thing on My Mind" (which is the best version this side of the Move's electric adaptation). On the American side of the Atlantic, the Tom Springfield/Jim Dale-authored movie song "Georgy Girl" overpowered a lot of these great moments and became the title track for the Capitol Records issue of the album. Come the Day was reissued in England during 1999 by EMI as part of the company's centennial celebrations, in a digipak format with both the stereo and mono mixes represented in an audiophile remastering.

The Seekers' fourth American album was nothing out of the ordinary, for either the group or pop music in general.
The pleasant folk-pop harmonic blend was seasoned by orchestration, including trombone, harpsichord, trumpet, clarinet, flute, and celeste. About half of the material was original, but Bruce Woodley penned a couple of interesting collaborations with Paul Simon ("Cloudy") and Tom Paxton ("Angeline Is Always Friday"). One outside contribution was Kenny Young's "When the Good Apples Fall," which gave the group their last big British hit.

A good sounding, 12-song collection of tracks, most of them – rather surprisingly – from 1964, and weighted a little more toward folk than pop. "Georgy Girl" is here, along with "I'll Never Find Another You," but pieces like "Come the Day" aren't, so this is hardly a valid cross-section of the group's work or sound. It is a decent place for the novice or casual fan to start, assuming that any of the bigger domestic hits collections are beyond one's budget.
