Also included are a series of black and white pics (on the non-US release, at any rate) featuring The Seekers at work (and play) in the recording studio. These shots definitely provided fans with a whole new image of The Seekers. Appropriately, this album has often been called The Seekers' Sergeant Peppers.
The days of liner notes are now long gone; rather there is an odd mix of credits. When reading these, one can only assume that tongue was planted firmly in cheek. I've included the credits under each of the tracks - just as they are listed on the album sleeve.
Seen In Green also sees three of the Seekers taking writing material for the group. Bruce consolidated his writing effect of "Come The Day" with his compositions on this album. Keith Potger consolidates his earlier, more traditional folk-style writing, with a more contemporary offering in "All I Can Remember".
The Seekers explore their gospel-origins in the feel-good, gospel tinged, On The Other Side. This track was co-written by Tom Springfield and was the last of his compositions recorded by The Seekers.
Finally, Judith Durham debuts as a writer on two tracks. Colours Of My Life, although not released as a single, has gone on to become something of a crowd favourite.
The following acknowledgements also have some interesting accreditions and makes you wonder whether The Seekers were asking themselves, "who really does read the credits on an album?" Certainly, in this instance, those who read to the bottom of the list were in store for a few smile-inducing quips!
