Product Description
The Ultimate Hollies 1963-1974: On a Carousel combines every UK Top 20 and USA Top 20 HOLLIES hit, from 1964 to 1974 on one CD. The Hollies were superlative pop craftsmen and their exhilarating vocal harmonies remain some of the richest and most celebrated in the entire history of pop music. Compiled from the group's recordings for Parlophone and Polydor, this is hit after hit, 25 tracks and 77 minutes of unforgettable melodies. Every song contained here is a three-minute pop masterpiece: Bus Stop, Carrie Anne, Stop Stop Stop, On a Carousel, King Midas in Reverse, He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, The Air That I Breathe, all their greatest hits and more! With superb quality audio transferred from the original analogue masters, this is the perfect Hollies collection on one definitive CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST AUDIO VERSION OF ANY HOLLIES COMPILATION, January 25, 2008
By BOB (LOS ANGELES, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

Once again, Raven does it better.

In '02, Epic re-released the highest selling Hollies compendium, "Greatest Hits", expanded and with some new mastering.

However, that disc does not hold a candle to this release. The new clarity in these remasters blows away not only the Epic disc, but any other Hollies CD I've ever heard.

And the original dynamic range of the recordings has also been kept intact, which is quickly becoming a rarity in these mastered-for-iPod days.

Three cheers for Raven!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the various Hollies hits collections, August 26, 2007
The Hollies' vocal and instrumental skills rivalled those of their more successful bandmates, The Beatles. They just couldn't match The Beatles as songwriters, and had to rely primarily on outside material. Even so, they were masters of radio-friendly pop-rock, and had more hit singles than even The Beatles.

This disc has all 25 songs that charted in the USA and/or UK on singles from 1963 through 1974, and it's as good a "greatest hits" album as any band has had. Hearing these songs all together in one package points up just how good this band could be. Even the lesser songs are catchy and well-performed, but the stretch from "Look Through Any Window" (fall 1965) through "Jennifer Eccles" (fall 1968) is as good as anything on the radio during that time save The Beatles themselves.

One big plus for this disc is that the early hits are here in mono instead of fake stereo. If you're a fan of British Invasion rock with great vocals (Allan Clarke was one of '60s rock's best voices), tight harmonies, and deceptively good guitar and drum work (Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliot remain underrated), this disc is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Hollies Compilation to Own!!!, September 23, 2008
By Devin Melancon (Southern Louisiana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are a few Hollies "greatest hits" CDs afloat, but NONE comes close to the superior sound of this one. Tracks 1-15 (mainly their British Invasion-era good time hits) are in mono, while 16-25 (their 70s songs which most people are more familiar with) are in terrific sounding stereo. All the hits are there, making this THE Hollies compilation to own.
