New Six-cd Box Set From The Hollies To Be Released In September
The Hollies will be celebrating their 40th anniversary with the release of a
six-CD box set in September. Titled The Long Road Home: The 40th Anniversary
Collection 1963 - 2003, the set will include five CDs of A- and B-Sides, EP and
album tracks, plus rare and previously unreleased recordings from the
Hollies' career. The sixth CD has live material from shows recorded in Sweden in
1966, London in 1968, the complete "Hollies Live Hits" show from Christchurch, New
Zealand, in 1976, and from Harrogate in the U.K. in 1991.
Also included in the box set is an 80-page book which includes a
comprehensive essay on their career, an illustrated discography, complete sessionography,
a family tree, and many rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia. For
more information about The Long Road Home: The 40th Anniversary Collection
1963 - 2003, check out Rob Haywood's Hollies Website at proweb.co.uk/~rhaywood/.
Graham Nash is very proud to have been a member of the Hollies, and he told
us that they deserve to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame: "They
certainly should be. They were a very large part of the British Invasion, they
were a very large part of early, you know, English rock. They had a couple of
dozen top 10 hits (in the U.K.), and hits over here (in the U.S.), and why
not?"
