The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s. Most of the band members are from throughout East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early-1970s…
Just as the subtitle says, this six-CD, 158-track collection has "The Complete Hollies April 1963-October 1968". That's everything recorded when singer Allan Clarke, guitarist/singer Tony Hicks, and guitarist/singer Graham Nash, who were the three constants in the band (though drummer Bobby Elliott was there for all but the earliest of these recordings, too). As such, it's a major British Invasion document. Even if it's missing some work postdating Nash's departure in late 1968 which is highly regarded by some fans (including their hits "He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother," "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," and "The Air That I Breathe"), most fans would agree that the Nash era is by far the band's most significant…
Except for "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" which is in stereo, this is a great and inexpensive way to get the best of the early 63-66 Hollies in pure monoponic sound…
The Hollies have a recorded many songs and everyone has their own list of favourites whether it be single or album track. With this Double set, we've included all the hits plus the classics that audiences request at every Hollies concert.
A good compilation of good early Hollies album and EP cuts. Sound quality on this CD is excellent. Mostly stereo versions of songs are used. The only exceptions are "Honey and Wine" and "Now's the Time" which may never have been on CD before this collection.
The Hollies: 20 Golden Greats is a compilation album by The Hollies, CDP 7 46238 2, produced in 1978 by EMI by Ron Richards. The album cover's subtitle is "20 great sounds that grew out of the North."…
The album sets off in chronological order with the band's first five singles and adds as a bonus their version of Poison Ivy. This was recorded at drummer Bobby Elliott's first session with the band on 11 October 1963, which produced the single Stay, but remained unreleased until 1978 when it turned up on an Australian album, and had never been on CD until this release…
This record would have disappeared long ago were it not for regal centerpiece "The Air That I Breathe," arguably pop's greatest ballad. The rest of the material naturally pales in comparison, but 1974's Hollies delivers likable-enough smiley face rock with the quintet's lilting trademark harmonies throughout…

The group's follow-up album to a pair of hit singles ("Long Cool Woman," "Long Dark Road") tries for the harder sound that sold those singles. Romany's cover art deliberately recalls its immediate predecessor Distant Light, but otherwise the two albums are rather dissimilar…
