5.0 out of 5 stars Hollies 1974, December 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hollies (Audio CD)

I read the other reviews of this item, and I'm totally lost. I had this on original vinyl and absolutely LOVED it, and some of the tracks mentioned in the first review did NOT exist on the original LP, which was correctly issued in 1974. I consider this LP to be one of the best the Hollies ever did, as it showcased the musical style they developed far better than most of their previous work, which sometimes included covers of other persons' material. True, it's not the stuff one may expect, if they consistantly think of the Hollies as doing only songs like Stop, Stop, Stop, or Carrie Anne, but I doubt anyone could honestly say this LP/CD is not one of their best.

4.0 out of 5 stars You're Both Wrong, October 1, 2002

This is neither a reunion LP or a reissue of the 1965 album/ This is compilation CD based on a 1987 cassette release on tyHour of Pleasure series. I have it, the cover matches the picture and the track list set forth above is accurate. Don't be misled.

Kusically. it's a mixed back of singles, B-sides, album cuts and EP tracks, with a few cignificant hits and a bunch of early covers. A real smorgasbord.

When, oh when will someone come out with a definitive box set for this group? The three disc set is out of print, and you have to find what you can where you can in a piecemeal fashion...like this.
