Great songs, wonderful pop song production, beautiful harmonies. I just bought this CD, and at 52 years old, I'm embarassed to say that I didn't know just how good The Hollies were. Certainly very near the equal of the Beatles, before they got all "important". This collection has all the classic "first Hollies" songs, before G. Nash left and they went all MOR in the very late sixties/early seventies - which is exactly what I wanted. That means no "Long Cool Woman" or "He Ain't Heavy". If you favor those songs, you need another collection. My one regret is that "King Midas in Reverse" is not on this CD. Can I subtract a quarter star for that? Now I have to buy the King Midas reissue as well - which I'm sure I won't regret.
