1964.....#13 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 UK Singles Chart, #4 Australia, #8 Germany Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound. “Needles and Pins“ is a rock song credited to American writers Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono. Jackie DeShannon recorded it in 1963 and other versions followed, including by Cher, The Searchers, Smokie, the Ramones, Del Shannon, Gene Clark, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Stevie Nicks, and Crack The Sky, and Willie DeVille. The Searchers heard British performer Cliff Bennett perform “Needles and Pins“ at a club in Hamburg, Germany, and instantly wanted it to be their next single. The Pye Records single was released in January 1964. It was number one in the United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the United States. Soon after, in April 1964, “Needles and Pins“ appeared on The Searchers’ next album, It’s the Searchers. Audible during The Searchers’ recording of “Needles and Pins“ is a faulty bass drum pedal, which squeaks throughout the song. It is particularly noticeable during the opening of the number. Part of The Searchers’ version can be heard as the intro of the song “Use the Man“ from Megadeth’s Cryptic Writings album, although it does not appear on the remastered version.
