IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS STEREO RELEASE INFORMATION ABOUT EACH TITLE THE HOLLIES GREATEST HITS 180 GRAM SEALED LP - It may have been a crass marketing assemblage of this U.K. group's successes up until their second-chance 1972 hit, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"; but this also contains some of the greatest pop songs to be found under one chronologically fudged roof. Singer Allan Clarke was one of the most versatile vocalists of the British Invasion, able to pull off cute pop vignettes ("Bus Stop"), whoop it up like the original rockabilly ("Long Cool Woman"), lament majestically ("King Midas in Reverse"), and add distinctive blues colorings to the band's R&B covers ("Just One Look"). All in all, the Hollies were pretty good album artists, but Greatest Hits is what you really need. Clarke's boyhood chum Graham Nash adds faultless harmonies, guitarist Tony Hicks contributes sparkling fills, and the unheralded Bobby Elliott is on the skins. Pure pop manna. Track Listings 1.

On a Carousel - THE HOLLIES EVOLUTION (STEREO Version) 180-gram vinyl RARE US VERSION REMASTERED IN 2016 After listening to the album several times, I've have determined that I like it. A lot. Why? Because it really is some cool music, some cool story-telling, and distinctive Hollies. The complexity of the harmonies feeds my ear (as a person who spends way too much time picking out harmonies to sing in songs, this is vital). The instrumentals are experimental but always much more than competent. Sure they play around with new instruments and distortion, but there's an overall lyrical and/or compositional point to everything they try.Carrie Anne: I've always liked it, and liked it more when I learned the history of the good-natured jab behind it. I think it was in keeping with the personality of the group.Stop Right There: The harmonies really get to me. Enjambment shows off Nash's really strong emotional understanding.Rain on the Window: I've read the comparisons to "Bus Stop," but other than the guitar, I just don't hear it. Tells a wistful story with both the words and the music. Three part harmony - exquisite. The "pitter-patter" interlude is rather weird, but like I said before, it serves a compositional purpose.Then the Heartaches Begin: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the distortion! Really does feel like a heartache! That a sound can make you feel an emotion is wonderful. The weird percussion/strings really, really work. Plus, the contradiction of it and the subject matter with the uptempo and Clarke's bubblegum sound is doubly moving.Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe: For what it is, it is quite good. It is a nice sketch of life remembered on two levels. The Hollies were always good at giving the character sketches from different perspectives (like in Confessions....). It is overly-pretty with the harpsichord and all, but it serves the purpose on two levels: experimentation and scene construction. One might compare it in terms of sugariness to "Penny Lane," except that, unlike the Beatles song, THIS one has a readily-understood point.You Need Love: This one always hit me as being ahead of its time - not because it's groundbreaking, but because something about the sound gives an "80s" feel to it. (Like The Searchers "Hearts in Her Eyes") Maybe it's a recording or a tuning thing - as a non-musician, I couldn't tell you. The low harmony toward the end is weird, interesting, and like I said before, experimental.Heading for a Fall: Very powerful; the jangling banjo and dissonant strings build for the lyrical rhythm. Sing-along harmonies bring the listener back to a comfort zone...of sorts. Like the strangeness.The Games We Play: Perfectly adequate song, but nothing particularly interesting about it, either.Lullaby to Tim: Lyrics are pretty, but I really can't stand to listen to it because it sounds like he's gargling while he's singing. On this album, I wouldn't put anything past them.Have You Ever Loved Somebody: Again, I'm a sucker for well-measured distortion, so they kind of had me at the first riff. Predictable Hollies-esque lyrics, but in a more intense, driven musical format. Stereo version:Side C:1. CARRIE ANNE2. Stop Right There3. Rain On The Window4. THEN THE HEARTACHES BEGIN5.

Have You Ever Loved Somebody PLUS HE AIN'T HEAVY/ HE MY BROTHER LP - This album contains 11 songs each defying comparison with anything they’ve done before, but each bearing The Hollies’ stamp of vitality and imagination. “Why Didn’t You Believe” - one of the most moving (spiritually and physically) expressions in the area of modern white gospel “Do You Believe In Love” - bounces all over the walls - great rhythm guitar by Terry Sylvester and Alan Clarke’s vocals “He Ain’t Heavy/He’s My Brother” - It is a song about loyalty, one of the classical themes, and it’s sad and beautiful and means what it says. Other tracks include: Don’t Give Up Easily - Look at Life - Please Sign Your Letters - My Life Is Over With You - Please Let Me Please - You Love ‘Cos You Like It - Reflections Of A Time Long Past and Goodbye Tomorrow.
