The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band, formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivalling those of The Beach Boys. Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the super group Crosby, Stills and Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millenium.
Frequent releases during the mid-60s included many cover versions of popular songs, as well as a few group-penned hits and many songs written especially for them by professional songwriters.
Formed 1962 Lancashire England. By 1965 The Hollies were established as one of Britain’s pre-eminent singles bands. As part of the British Invasion, they enjoyed huge chart success in many countries in the mid-Sixties, releasing a string of classic harmony-pop hits including
Bus Stop I’m Alive, a UK No. 1, I Can’t Let Go, Stop Stop Stop, Carrie Anne, On A Carousel, Look Through Any Window, and Jennifer Eccles.
In 1972, the hitLong cool woman in a black dress reached #2 in the US. Their last mega hit was He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother, hitting #1 in the UK in 1988 (albeit 19 years after its first release).
The band are noted for their longevity, with their 2006 tour chalking up 45 years. Despite numerous changes in line-up, Tony Hicks & Bobby Elliott have been with the band almost from its inception.

Instead of getting that Rikfors fellow in when Allen Clarke briefly left, Terry Sylvester and Tony Hicks should have handled all the vocals. Terry was a much more capable lead singer, and the two songs he sang lead on were by far best on the Romany album.

Question about stereo mastering: Did some quick searching and found on wikipedia that instruments are meant to be on one channel and vocals on the other, but on my versions of these songs the vocals are on the left which feels strange. Is this right? If you know, please send me a PM, thanks!
