5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous collection of 'real pop', 24 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This album contains every song a Hollies fan could want and more. It includes classics such as 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', 'Just One Look', 'Sorry Suzanne' and 'I'm Alive'. I think it's one of the best albums around and a lot of you will be suprised to hear that I wasn't even alive in the 60's or 70's to hear them sing the songs and yet I still think they are all marvellous. This album is one for everyone and even if you've never heard of The Hollies I can asure you, you will love this album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Includes 15 hit singles, 11 April 2008
By Laurence Upton (Wilts, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This budget-priced collection could not quite be called a Greatest Hits collection, or even a Best Of... After all, key hits like We're Through, Look Through Any Window, If I Needed Someone and On A Carousel are missing, and one or two tracks almost classify as Worst Of (Lullaby To Tim, seemingly sung underwater; the would-be Beatlish Time For Love; and Away Away Away, weak Carnaby Street flower-power), but it does give a good representation of what the band were like between 1963, when they signed to Parlophone, through to 1969, having gone through many changes, signing off with their Top Three hit He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother.

The album sets off in chronological order with the band's first five singles and adds as a bonus their version of Poison Ivy. This was recorded at drummer Bobby Elliott's first session with the band on 11 October 1963, which produced the single Stay, but remained unreleased until 1978 when it turned up on an Australian album, and had never been on CD until this release. Although a generous further eleven UK singles are included, after this they are interspersed with a B-side (So Lonely, the flip of Look Through Any Window) and eight album tracks. Oddly enough, although all the A-sides are in stereo (except Stay), the other nine tracks are all in mono.

The album tracks have been thoughtfully chosen, profiling their earliest group compositions (disguised under the pseudonym L. Ransford), including songs covered as singles by other artists (Put Yourself In My Place by Episode Six, and Tell Me To My Face by Keith), and their 1967 attempts at psychedelia on the albums Evolution and Butterfly. Maker is quite striking with its dominant sitar but they were soon back to the pop froth of Jennifer Eccles (who had terrible freckles, according to Scaffold). Tell Me To My Face, led by Graham Nash, isn't a million miles from the Marrakesh Express, the song he took to Crosby and Stills after the Hollies' producer rejected it.

Classic hits like I'm Alive, I Can't Let Go, Bus Stop and Stop! Stop! Stop! make this a good value buy at the right price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Essential? ...well almost, 10 May 2006
By Chip Persona (London UK) - See all my reviews
Yes, this has almost all the great 60's Hollies singles on here, although glaring omissions are "We're THrough" and the fantastic "Look Through Any Window" both big hits which should be part of any best of Hollies collection. It would've been nice to see "Pay you back With Interest" or something from Hollies sing Dylan too. Alan Clarkes voice is one of the most underrated in rock history, and their harmonies were impeccable. This album also unlies their big problem though, and the reason why they never given the longterm repect of say, The Kinks. Stripped of the hits, most of which were written by outsiders, the remaining tracks are well-produced but totally forgettable.
