THIS ALBUM IS REALLY REALLY GOOD A MUST BUYWednesday, June 19, 2002
I have just recently brought this album, I do have other Hollies greatest hit's one but the difference is with this one is that the quality of sound is just amazing. I have some of the tracks on other compilations but the quality of sound on tracks like carie Ann and King Midas In reverse are so clear I do not know if this cd has been re-mastered or not it does not state this. But for people that have not brought this album yet all of the tracks are in FULL STEREO SOUND, there is only one track that is in MONO and that is DO THE BEST YOU CAN, other wise epic have done a seriously good job on this album.
There is 2 versions of magic woman touch the first ver is from the original album ROMANY 1972 WITH MICHEL RICKFORD, the ver at the end of the album is acoustic AND IT IS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD, I agree with the other review about this track that it does knock out Crosby stills and Nash on this one... If you are a Hollies fan then you are in for a treat with this one.
I am only 21 years of age and I wish I were around during the 1960's and 70's. The Hollies are almost my all time favourite band apart from the Beatles, Stones, small faces, Pink Floyd and so on. They just have incredible voices when they sing as well as they are just such accomplished singers. Wowwwwwwww Allot of the tracks will just blast you away.
Great pop from a cool group!Sunday, July 29, 2001
I have a pretty good best of cd that has the earlier hits like BUS STOP,LOOK THROUGH ANY WINDOW,and STOP,STOP,STOP and I was glad to get this,a bunch of later songs.I love this cd as much as that one with the early hits.The great vocals and beautiful melodies are here too.

A Magic AlbumThursday, January 04, 2001
The only thing that I can add to the reviews is that the acoustic version of "Magic Woman Touch" is worth the price of the disc alone! If you thought that Crosby, Stills & Nash could do harmoney; the Hollies blow them away, especially on this cut.

incomplete, but goodWednesday, December 27, 2000
This is a good collection of those Hollies songs that made an impact in the U.S. from 1966 on, but even then leaves out two: 'Pay You Back With Interest,' and 'Look Through Any Window.' Also missing, of course, are the several important hits the Hollies had prior to this period in Britain (e.g., 'Here I Go Again,' 'I Can't Let Go,' and 'I'm Alive'). The best overall survey of the Hollies oeuvre I know of is their "20 Golden Greats," which includes both early and late material.
