Album Review

This compilation, whose release was sparked by the 1972 success of "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," the Hollies' most successful American single, contains 12 of their 14 biggest U.S. hits, 1964-1972, missing only "Jennifer Eccles" and "I Can't Let Go," for which it substitutes the slightly lower-charting, but perhaps more familiar "Dear Eloise" and "King Midas in Reverse." As such, it is very nearly as good a one-LP hits collection as there could be for the U.S. market at this time. [The 2002 reissue features one extra song: "Air That I Breathe."]

Customer Reviews

Be forewarned

The mix on the first three tracks is AWFUL!!! All the voices are on the right, and all the instruments are on the left. If you like the first three tracks on this record (and I do) then get the EMI, not the Capitol versions. Otherwise, the rest of it is fine.

Stop, Stop Stop! DON'T BUY THIS!!

DO NOT buy this album! Buy the other one that has all the songs except "The Air That I Breathe" for 9.90, then buy "TATIB" for .99... you'll save two bucks. But in terms of the quality of the music, hey - it's a best-of from a great, underappreciated band. Though I can't believe "I Can't Let Go" isn't included. I'd include that one before either "TATIB" or "He Ain't Heavy."

Includes "The Air That I Breathe"...

"The Air That I Breathe" was not on the original release, as it was released after this greatest hits collection. Therefore, you are getting more than the original album. "TATIB" was one of my favourites from High School. I also loved "Long Dark Road" when this album came out. "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" might move you to tears when you discover the story behind the song. If you are younger and just want to sample - try songs # 1, 4, 5, 7, 10 & 13. By the time you sample 5-6 songs though, you might as well get the whole album. I don't think that you will be disappointed with it.

When the Hollies — one of the best and most commercially successful pop/rock acts of the British Invasion — began recording in 1963, they relied heavily upon the R&B/early rock & roll covers that provided the staple diet for countless British bands of the time. They quickly developed a more distinctive style featuring three-part harmonies (heavily influenced by the Everly Brothers), ringing guitars, and hook-happy material, penned by both outside writers (especially future 10cc...
