Best of the Hollies [Collectables]

Performer: The Hollies
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp.

Notes: This 1993 (reissued in 2003) collection from Collectables is almost identical to The Best of the Hollies, Vol. 1, a 1988 EMI-Manhattan release. Like its predecessor, it sticks to a lean ten-song selection, including "Bus Stop," "On a Carousel," "Carrie Ann," "Pay You Back With Interest," and "I Can't Let Go." It's also quite similar content-wise to Capitol's 2002 Classic Masters disc, which trumps it with 24-bit remastered sound. Since it's missing several definitive moments -- "King Midas in Reverse," "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress," "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," and so on -- it's far from an essential overview. ~ Andy Kellman

The Beatles just barely beat them to the punch, but in the 1960s the Hollies were still one of the very first (and most popular) British "beat" groups, heavily inspired by American R&B and '50s rock & roll. Like the Beatles, they soon delved into more complex pop and psychedelia. When Graham Nash left to join CSN, they still managed to keep the hit machine rolling into the 1970s.
