 Rating:  - Easily The Most Variable Of The Many British Invasion GroupsBefore they became The Hollies, lead vocalist Allan Clarke and guitarist Graham Nash, both from Manchester, England, had performed as a duo calling themselves The Guytones. Then, with the addition of two more they changed briefly to The Fourtones, then The Deltas and, in 1962, The Hollies, with bassists Eric Haycock and drummer Don Rathbone. A year later they got a contract with the famed British label, Parlophone (part of EMI) and a fifth member, guitarist Tony Hicks. In May that year they had their first U.K. hit, a cover of The Coaster's Ain't That Just Like Me which, b/w Hey, What's Wrong With Me, reached # 25 on the British charts, and in August followed that with another Coasters cover, Searchin' which hit # 12 b/w The Whole ...

Rating: - Wish I could see themSince some of the Hollies have moved on to successful careers with other bands, this group's contributions to pop music have been short-changed. They were just brilliant. This collection is highly recommended. I really wish they would get back together. This is a reunion tour I would pay big money to see. Rating:  - A Pretty Comprehensive CollectionThe Hollies always reminded me of The Beatles - interesting, inventive melodies; folky, jangly guitars; multi-layered harmonies - and that's probably why they caught my attention in the first place. This collection has the obvious hits you would expect: the excellent folk-rockish "Bus Stop", "He Ain't Heavy", "Long Cool Woman" and the gorgeous "Air That I Breathe". But it also includes songs that I remember as rather big hits that aren't heard frequently on radio these days, namely "Stop, Stop, Stop" and "Look Through Any Window". And lesser hits that I remember fondly, like "Just One Look" and "Pay You Back With Interest". Even a couple that I don't remember at all are pretty good: "Dear Eloise" and "King Midas in Reverse". The sound is ... Read More: Rating:  - SKIP THIS FOR THE RAVEN IMPORT, FAR BETTER AUDIOThis is, of course, by far the biggest selling Hollies "best of" disc. However, a much better-sounding alternative import single-disc compilation, On a Carousel, 1963-1974: The Ultimate Hollies, made available by Australia's Raven Records label. The remastered audio on the Raven disc is far and away superior to this disc, even though it was re-vamped just a few years ago. The Raven CD has every track on this disc, but has nearly double the music, 25 tracks vs. the paltry 13 here. The import is a little extra money, but eminently more worth it. |
