4 out of 5 stars A Good Mono Compilation!.......2006-08-09

This Hollies compilation covers the first five years of the Hollies' recording career. Most of the British A-sides rom that period are included along with almost as many B-sides. A couple of EP-tracks are included too, with the "Honey and Wine" as the most obscure.

It's quite obvious that the group was growing enormously these years - as a recording act, and even more as songwriters. Though the did some fine Everly Brothers inspired B-sides already in 1963, most of their early songs sound rather primitive compared to originals from 1966-67 like "Carrie Anne", "On a Carousel, "Stop, Stop, Stop" and "I've Got a Way of My Own".

Among the other great singles "Look Through Any Window", "I Can't Let Go" and "I'm Alive" stand out as some of the greatest pop-rock recordings of the mid-sixties. Strange that "Yes I Will" ( Goffin/King) has been left out as one of the very few A-sides from the period. It's one my favourite early Hollies singles.

All in all a good compilation of their earliest years.

3 out of 5 stars 5 Star music on a 2 Star CD.......2005-07-17

The music is great. The Hollies are definitely a 5-star band but this review is on the CD, not the songs or the band. The CD is copy protected and upon inserting it into my PC immediately begins to try to install "required updates" to my Media Player. I don't want every CD I own installing its own patches to Media player so it can control how I use the CD. I have never stolen, borrowed, copied, or loaned someone else my CD's or taken copies of theirs and I do not want copy protected CDs.

The concept brings to mind the problems my wife has with her ebooks on Microsoft Reader. Her PC decides, often randomly or arbitrarily, whether or not she can read the books she paid for. I don't want my CDs doing the same thing.

Finish your CD libraries soon before the copy protection takes away you right to listen when and where you choose.
