Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best sound.......2007-04-17

Of all readily available Hollies compilations this has by far the best sound - good transfers with no digital manipulation.

4 out of 5 stars A delight - but Midas is missing!.......2006-01-31

It is a joy to hear the sixties sounds of the Hollies once again. Happy childhood memories come flooding back and this strong collection sustains the pace. The harmonies remain impressive after all these years and so does the group's versatility. The ballads are few but very listenable.

A pity then that a few weak and dispensible tracks (e.g. Stay) are interspersed with the songs of great lasting value. A shame above all, that the one of the Hollies' most innovative and intense - and catchy - songs is missing on this collection. For King Midas in Reverse, we're forced to look elsewhere. Ah well. Perfection is hard to find. And this is mostly a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is where it's atThe.......2004-10-03

The SOUND of the Hollies is unique and so groovy you will not belive it. With 20 golden hit you get all you need. "Listen to Me", "Carrie Anne", "The Air I Breathe", "On a Carousel", "Long Cool Woman" and "Jennifer Eccles" are the essentials. The rest just make for a good, well rounded CD.

5 out of 5 stars The essential British chart hits.......2003-10-15

The Hollies had more than twenty hits in their UK homeland, but the big ones can all be found here including all those that reached the top ten. The proof of their continuing popularity in Britain is that many of these songs turn up regularly on various artists compilation albums. The most popular is He ain't heavy he's my brother, which is not a surprise as it was a top three hit in the sixties and a number one hit in the eighties following its use in a TV commercial. The air that I breathe, Carrie Anne, Bus stop, I'm alive and Just one look seem to be the most popular of the others. Less common are Jennifer Eccles, Sorry Suzanne, On a Carousel, Stop stop stop and Look through any window, but these were all huge UK hits for the Hollies.

If you just want a single Hollies CD containing all the essentials from the sixties and seventies, this will satisfy your needs. If you are looking for other excellent but less successful (in the UK) songs like If I needed someone and King Midas in reverse, or you want songs that were successful in other countries but not the UK, you can find them on more comprehensive collections, particularly the Greatest hits double CD released in 2003, which contains all these songs and which I've already reviewed.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Band froma Great Era.......2003-04-15

The British band, The Hollies, made an unforgettable mark on the 1960's and early 70's.
They really capture the innocent feel-good folksy 60's sound with such great hits as 'Look Through Any Window' (1965) with its portrayal of suburban/village bliss, the erotic 'Stop Stop Stop' (1966) Carrie Anne (1967) and Jennifer Eccles (1967).
Before switching to the rock mode of the early 70's with 'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress'(1971).
