Definitely 1964. I found it at the Judith Durham/Seekers website. http://www.pjervis.freeserve.co.uk/seekers_main.html

The site is from a UK perspective, so the albums are different from those released in the US, though some seem to be the same, just with different covers and labels. The album that contains Morningtown Ride is listed as Hide And Seekers, WRC records, 1964. In the US, it was released as The New Seekers, Capitol 2319. Can't say when it was released, but I purchased it on April 15, 1967 (for several years there, I dated my records) It is identical, right down to track order, except for the deletion of The Eriskay Love Lilt.

I know the album title referring to New just confuses the picture, but neither the notes to this album, nor any of the other albums I have make reference to anything but The Seekers. Certainly one of my favorite groups of all time. You got that box set, Joe? I certainly have been yearning for it, plus all those newer Judith Durham albums. She certainly seems to be in as good a voice as ever.
