Top material & sound, but why so skimpy?

"Excellent and often-underrated material at last given crisp, clean sound. How come, though, this disk is so skimpy? There are plenty of qualified hit singles left off. Twelve-track anthologies should be a thing of the past by now."

Great singles, great sound

"The Hollies don't get a lot of respect, mostly lumped in with Herman's Hermits and the like these days. But this was a fine band that cranked out some entertaining, sonically innovative and well-written singles during the period that coincides with co-founder Graham Nash's tenure. The hits hold up amazingly well. The good stuff is on tracks 1-9 and the singles are delivered in surprisingly crisp sound. Too bad they skipped "King Midas." Capitol has done right by one of the great pop acts of the 1960s -- maybe they will get around to doing something about the sound on discs by that other great singles act, the Beatles!"
