Hollies’ Greatest – THE HOLLIES*****

I Can’t Let Go/Bus Stop/We’re Through/Carrie Anne/Here I Go Again/King Midas In Reverse/Yes I Will/I’m Alive/ Just One Look/On A Carousel/Stay/Look Through Any Window/Stop Stop Stop/Jennifer Eccles

First British hit package from consistent sixties hit makers The Hollies. This one includes all their best remembered songs from the Graham Nash era. Hollies Greatest topped the UK album chart, an accurate reflection of the quality of the tracks within. (UK:1)

"This album brings back memories of the 60s. The music is pure pop, like a breath of fresh air. If you remember anything of the music of the era and especially The Hollies, this is a real gem. Put it on and let the years drift away."

"Oh what memories these songs bring back. The Hollies for me were my favourite group in the 60s and 70s and I well remember saving my pocket money to see them in concert. Tony Hicks was, and still is, one of the best guitarists around. This album covers most of my favourite songs plus a few extra. Music for all ages."

"This LP serves as an introduction to the music of this fantastic group. The song selection is very good and presents the listener with some of the most popular hits. The only problem with this album is that it is a single disc compilation, and I'm sure you'll want more Hollies as soon as these songs get into your heart. However, if you are looking for a concise representation of the band's output, this is a no-brainer."

"This LP is simply a treasure for every fan of pop music, 60s nostalgia and for all the lovers of excellent music; all the great Hollies' songs are here, from the catchy Bus Stop, their number one hit I'm Alive, their excellent own compositions like Carrie Anne, On A Carousel and Stop Stop Stop (incredible way to play the banjo), plus many other highlights. If you like The Hollies, the inspired music and 60s nostalgic sounds, this album is for you."

"Remember those wonderful sixties pop charts - The Hollies were always up there with The Beatles, Stones, Kinks et al. They only hit number one on one occasion, but on this disc we are reminded of how well they played and sang."
