Performer: The Hollies
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Collectables Priceless Collection provides ten songs, five each, from two essential pop bands of the mid-'60s -- the Hollies and the Byrds -- on one disc. While the combined artists are similar enough that the transition between the two isn't jarring, still, you wonder what the point of all this is. If you're looking for quality hits packages from either group, for not much more money, check out the easily found Columbia/Legacy package The Byrds' Greatest Hits [Expanded] or The Hollies' Greatest Hits [Bonus Track] available on Epic/Legacy. ~ Al Campbell
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.
