''Capitol Collectors Series'' is a 1992 compilation of 23 tracks recorded by Australian band

Reception
Greg Adams from
AllMusic wrote, "
The Seekers' folk-pop sound formed a bridge between
The Kingston Trio and
The Association, putting the Australian quartet in the same international quasi-folk neighborhood as
The Sandpipers and
Peter and Gordon. "Georgy Girl" and "I'll Never Find Another You" were the group's two big hits, but their repertoire included everything from traditional folk songs and spirituals to pure pop. With strummy acoustic guitars and intricate vocal arrangements, the Seekers paved the way for the folk-oriented pop vocal groups that followed. ''Capitol Collectors Series'' is a 23-track anthology that presents their hits and more, with several excellent tracks among the obscurities."
