The Hollies – The Epic Anthology
Hailing from Manchester, UK and becoming one of the premier British Invasion bands of the 60s, the Hollies signed with EMI’s Parlophone label in 1963 and engaged Ron Richards as their producer.
They scored in the UK with their debut single, “(Ain’t That) Just Like Me” but had to wait for the following to break into the US Hot-100 when “Just One Look” bowed in, albeit at a lowly #98. Their initial US releases were on the Imperial label but they switched to Epic in 1967 with “Carrie Anne”, a disc which went Top-10 pretty much around the world, including the US. It kicks off this elegant CD, which is a 20 tracker but 15 of them were US hits. Even though the CD excludes such early hits as “Bus Stop”, it’s an excellent collection highlighting their US successes - including their definitive version of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and Bruce Springsteen's "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)".
The album notes are thorough – much more than you would expect from a $7 CD – with welcome input from lead singer, Allan Clarke and producer, Ron Richards.
The devout Hollies’ fan will no doubt have most of these tracks but – at $7 – it’s an awesome buy for the more casual fan or those with an interest in late 60s/early 70s pop. Recommended unreservedly!
