This Japanese Best of the Hollies collection leaves off some of the group's finest work, leaving too much room for obscure mono versions of early album cuts like "She Said Yeah," "Listen Here to Me," and "So Lonely," and none for legitimate "best ofs" like "Carrie Ann," "Air That I Breathe," and "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress." Fans looking for a more comprehensive compilation should pick up 1990's Epic Anthology or Raven's On a Carousel, 1963-1974: The Ultimate Hollies. ~ James Christopher Monger

21-track anthology of cuts that appeared (usually not exclusively) on their mid-'60s British EPs. The only true rarities are the '64 group originals "What Kind of Love" and "When I'm Not There"; these never appeared on album otherwise, until See For Miles' almost identical compilation a decade later, The EP Collection. ~ Richie Unterberger
