It contains acetate recordings of them performing at Iron Door Club in 1963, few months before their breakthrough in the UK.
[2] Around January or February 1963, the Searchers taped here eleven songs from their current stage repertoire (without audience).
Guitarist John McNally: "I can't remember how many copies of the acetate were made, although Les Ackerley obviously had a few to send to the record companies in London.
It was believed, that these Iron Door acetate records were lost, but it turns out that the only surviving copy was in the private collection of Tony Jackson, singer and bass guitarist of the band.
