Now (The New Seekers album)
''Now'' is a 1973 album by British pop group The New Seekers. It was retitled ''Pinball Wizards'' in the US.
== Overview ==
Released in March 1973, the album coincided with the release of their latest hit single "Pinball Wizard - See Me Feel Me", which reached #16 in the UK.〔(Chartstats - "Pinball Wizard - See Me Feel Me" UK singles chart )〕 This single was a medley of two songs taken from Pete Townshend's rock musical ''Tommy''. This single featured a harder-edged sound for the group with heavy use of electric guitars and sung in a rockier style. Townsend himself congratulated the group on their version of the song.〔(Lyn Paul Website - "Pinball Wizard - See Me Feel Me" )〕 No other singles were issued from the album however. ''Now'' reached #47 in the UK album charts.〔(Chartstats - ''Now'' UK chart details )〕 The ''New Musical Express'' reviewed the album on its release and while criticising the group for their middle of the road nature, it did go on to state: "Nobody denies their natural vocal ability, and I'll go so far as to say the harmonies are excellent".〔(Lyn Paul website - ''Now'' album review )〕
This was to be the group's last album for a year and was the last album to feature member Peter Doyle who left the group in mid 1973 to be replaced by Peter Oliver.〔(Official site - ''Now'' album details )〕
In the US, the album was released under the title ''Pinball Wizards'' with alternate artwork and a slightly different track listing. The title track single had become one of the group's biggest hits there, peaking at #29. This would also be the group's final single to chart. The album itself reached #190.〔(Official site - US version details )〕
