The Seekers' Greatest Hits is a compilation album released in Australia by EMI's Columbia label (Catalogue No. SCXO 7830) in July 1968 on the break-up of the Seekers. This album did not include "I'll Never Find Another You" or "A World of Our Own" which were previously released on The Seekers Sing Their Big Hits (1965) W&G 25/2512. The album peaked at number 1 for 17 weeks and was the highest selling album in Australia in 1968. It was also the first time an Australian artist had peaked at number 1 on the Australian album chart.[1]
