Hot and sweaty British Invasion style Power-Pop!

(5 out of 5 stars)

""The Hollies at Abbey Road 1963-1966" is an excellent collection of early British Power-Pop. People who enjoy the first four Beatles albums are very likely to enjoy this collection as it is made up of similar material performed in a similar style. Like the Beatles, the 1963-1966 era Hollies were beginning to write their own songs while still do excellent cover versions of early Rock and Soul gems. Most of the covers tend to be louder songs that have more drive to them while most of the originals are love ballads. Above all, this set shows that the Hollies aren't the talent lacking Beatles imitators that the American press usually paints them as. The fine liner notes, that list dates of the recordings and other facts, actually lead me to believe that the Hollies were a band of like minded individuals who developed at roughly the same time as the Beatles under the creative guidance of the same record company(EMI) and recording studio(Abbey Road)."

"The Hollies are my second most favourite band (The Beatles is first) and this CD is filled with their early hits and some of their B-sides that Clarke/Nash/Hicks wrote. Some of the songs have a little bit of talking in it while they were in the recording studio and there is an alternate arrangement for the song "We're Through" plus the actual album version of the song as well. Great album to have whether you are a big fan of The Hollies or not. (Also, buying all three of The Hollies at Abbey Road [used] separately is more than $10 cheaper than buying the one with all three in one collection.)"
28 perfectos ejemplos del mejor beat

"The Hollies es uno de los grupos más destacados de la era beat, y a mi juicio capaces de disputar con los mismos Beatles por el primer lugar. Las similitudes son bastantes, siendo uno de los pocos grupos que pueden sonar como los de Liverpool sin caer en la copia evidente. Ambos en sus inicios compartían casi igual cantidad de covers y originales, y en este sentido los Hollies tuvieron el buen gusto para escoger y la capacidad para realizar excelentes versiones de Just Like Me o Stay, dos de sus primeros singles en 1963 y que ya muestran la verdadera capacidad del grupo. Pero a diferencia de muchos de sus contemporáneos, ellos tambien podían escribir temas propios, casi siempre relegados a los lados B pero que en muchos casos están al mismo nivel que los A (en este sentido los Beatles ganan ya que sus covers sólo estaban destinados a álbumes).Abbey Road 63-66 es la mejor introducción al período beat del grupo, concentrándose en singles y unos pocos temas extraídos de sus álbumes, pero a diferencia de las recopilaciones típicas aquí hay gran cantidad de temas desconocidos, lo que da una perspectiva diferente y de paso sirve para decubrir alguna que otra sorpresa. Si bien en sus primeros discos los Hollies no volaban a la altura de los Beatles, no hay un sólo tema para descartar entre los 28, transformando a Abbey Road en un cd imposible de pasar por alto en cualquier coleccion de invasión Británica."
