The Hollies' Greatest Hits (1967 Album)
''The Hollies' Greatest Hits'' was the first greatest hits collection by English pop group the Hollies. The album was released by Imperial Records in the US in May 1967 and by Capitol Records in Canada, under the title ''The Hits of the Hollies'' and with two different tracks, in July 1967. It was the Hollies' highest charting album in the US, peaking at number eleven during a chart stay of forty weeks. When Imperial was dissolved into United Artists Records in 1971, this album went out of print, prompting Epic (the group's then-current label) to issue its own "Greatest Hits" album two years later. The album was available in both mono and stereo formats. A little over half of the songs on the stereo version were electronically altered (e), meaning that the mono tapes were used. The Canadian version of the album deleted the songs "Memphis" and "Tell Me to My Face", substituting early Hollies hits "Stay" and "(Ain't That) Just Like Me". Neither Capitol Records, which assumed contr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Hollies
The Hollies are a British pop rock band, formed in 1962. One of the leading British groups of the 1960s and into the mid-1970s, they are known for their distinctive three-part vocal harmony style. Allan Clarke (singer), Allan Clarke and Graham Nash founded the band as a Merseybeat-type group in Manchester, although some of the band members came from towns further north in East Lancashire. Nash left the group in 1968 to form Crosby, Stills & Nash, though he has reunited with the Hollies on occasion. They enjoyed considerable popularity in the UK and Europe during the mid-1960s with a string of hit singles that included "Just One Look (song), Just One Look" (1964), "Here I Go Again (The Hollies song), Here I Go Again" (1964), "I'm Alive (The Hollies song), I'm Alive" (1965; their first of two UK number-ones), "Look Through Any Window" (1965) and "I Can't Let Go" (1966), although they did not achieve US chart success until "Bus Stop (song), Bus Stop" was released in 1966.

''Bus Stop'' is the fourth U.S. album by the British pop band the Hollies, released on Imperial Records in mono (LP-9330) and rechanneled stereo (LP-12330) in October 1966. It features songs ranging from both sides of the band's then-current hit single to material recorded in the Hollies' early days on the UK's Parlophone Records in 1963, 1964 and 1965.
