BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

The Searchers are a Liverpool based group that started out as the backing band for singer Johnny Sandon. However, they soon decided to venture out on their own and caught the attention of Pye Records recording manager Tony Hatch with an impressive demo. This led to them signing a contract and recording their first song, "Sweets For My Sweet".

Over the years, The Searchers went through several lineup changes but remained consistent in delivering their signature sound. They performed their last shows in 2019, leaving behind a legacy of memorable music.

Similar artists to *The Searchers* include Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Merseybeats, The Dave Clark Five, Freddie & The Dreamers, and many more.

Few beat groups of the mid-sixties could match the impact of Liverpool’s The Searchers, whose first four singles on the Pye label included three number ones – Sweets For My Sweet, Needles And Pins and Don’t Throw Your Love Away – and Sugar And Spice, a number two hit which is fondly remembered today.
