Cat. No. VV 1204: THE HOLLIES ~ HOLLIES GREATEST / VOL. 2. PARLOPHONE / EMI PCSO 7567

USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

THE HOLLIES WERE ONE OF THE LEADING BRITISH POP GROUPS OF THE 1960s AND INTO THE 1970s. EMERGING OUT OF THE MERSEYBEAT SOUND IN 1962 THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR DISTINCTIVE THREE-PART VOCAL HARMONY STYLE.

THE HOLLIES ENJOYED CONSIDERABLE POPULARITY IN THE UK AND EUROPE DURING THE MID-1960s ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT ACHIEVE USA CHART SUCCESS UNTIL "BUS STOP" WAS RELEASED IN 1966. THE GROUP WENT ON TO HAVE PERIODIC SUCCESS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN OVER THE NEXT DECADE. OVERALL, THE HOLLIES HAD OVER 30 CHARTING SINGLES REACH THE UK SINGLES CHART, 22 ON THE US BILLBOARD HOT 100 AND 21 ON THE CHART OF RPM MAGAZINE IN CANADA. THE HOLLIES ARE ONE OF THE FEW UK GROUPS OF THE EARLY 1960s, ALONG WITH THE ROLLING STONES WHO HAVE NEVER DISBANDED AND CONTINUE TO RECORD AND PERFORM. IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS THE HOLLIES WERE INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME IN 2010.
