The Golden Jubilee Album is a compilation album by Australian band The Seekers. The album was released in November 2016, to celebrate 50 years since Judith Durham started her new job at an advertising agency in Melbourne and met account executive Athol Guy. Guy invited Durham to sit in with his mates Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley and perform in a little Melbourne coffee lounge called 'Treble Clef' on 3 December 1962. The quartet became known as The Seekers and released their first studio album in 1963, titled Introducing the Seekers. This compilation includes two new tracks, a cover of Jack Rhodes and Dick Reynolds' "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" and The Beatles' "In My Life".

Reception

Steve Leggett from AllMusic gave the album 4 out of saying; "Australia's The Seekers have had a long career, one that began in the early 1960s, and five decades on, this two-disc, 50-track set appeared to celebrate the group's 50th anniversary. All the hits and essential sides are here, including "Georgy Girl," "A World of Our Own," and "I'll Never Find Another You," among others, as well as two new tracks unique to this set. The Seekers were never really an albums act, so what's truly essential is here, making this both a nice introduction and a fair high-point summation of the group's catalog."
