They solidified their position further with another album track, "Ain't That Just Like Me", which was later released in the US and hit #61 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[3] The first album single, "Sugar and Spice", was written by producer Tony Hatch (using the pseudonym Fred Nightingale in order to better convince the band to record it), and he felt the song had enormous hit potential, given its similarity to the group's previous No.1 hit "Sweets for My Sweet".

[5] With the massive popularity of the Searchers, Pye Records decided to release a follow-up album as soon as possible for the Christmas market.

The group were pulled back to the studio in the middle of their UK tour with Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and Roy Orbison, and made the new album in just three days.

They covered tunes by their American idols, such as Buddy Holly ("Listen to Me", "Don't Cha Know"), girl group The Chiffons ("Oh My Lover"), and The Coasters ("Ain't That Just Like Me"), and also the Merseybeat standard "Some Other Guy", which became a staple ingredient in almost every Liverpool group's set-list.

Instead, five of the album's twelve tracks appeared on Kapp Records' release, Meet The Searchers / Needles and Pins, issued in North America only (and with two more on another US-only LP, This Is Us).
