The Hollies Complete Singles Collection (1963-1993)

With all of the Hollies comps available, I can't understand why there has never been a complete singles collection. These guys were THE singles band, weren't they? I know they tried to put together cohesive albums (Butterfly and Moving Finger come to mind) but they never seemed to capture anything more than brilliant singles. So here's the whole story, 1963-1993, in the original mixes/edits all at 320 and with no duplications, running a bit over seven hours. After completing the first set, I learned that The UK singles favored the 60's and the US singles favored the 70's-80's. Combining them both make for the balanced set. As well, I found some sonic upgrades in a few later tracks. Let me know what you think. There's some hard to find stuff - some of the 80's B-sides had eluded me for quite a while.

Thanks for these gems. I never tire of listening to their singles (having grown up hearing them in the 60's on the radio). Looking forward to marathon listening sessions.
Once again, your hard work is truly appreciated.

Just ran across your site for the first time ever and had to grab your Hollies effort as they are one of my most favorite groups. It will be nice having these in one concise package. It may be my first time visiting your site but it won't be my last. Very interesting. As I say to all bloggers thank you so much for all the hard unselfish work you do to make these gems available to all.

BlankFrank said...

@Unknown, thanks for pointing this out. Let me look into this. Since this is a 7" single collection, the 12" would be out of place, but I'll include if I can find a 7" version of the release

LonChes said...

Thanks for this! The Hollies are great.

Mike said...

I'll add my thanks for this collection. I have always thought of the Hollies as one of the best groups...
Cheers,
