Bus Stop is the fourth U.S. album by the British

Beat Group!
earlier in 1966.

Bus Stop was also the fourth Canadian album by The Hollies, released on

I Can't Let Go / Look Through Any Window
earlier in 1966.

This was the Hollies' last album to feature original bassist Eric Haydock, who left the group early in 1966 following disputes with the group's managers, missing the recording session for "Bus Stop"; he was eventually replaced by Bernie Calvert.

Background

All of the material except the current single ("

A-side of the single, also the album's title track, featured "fill-in" bassist Bernie Calvert, who later replaced Haydock in the Hollies. One song ("Little Lover"), recorded in 1963, featured original Hollies drummer Don Rathbone instead of Bobby Elliott
, and two other songs "Candy Man" and "Baby That's All" came from the UK version of the group's first album, Stay with The Hollies.

This was the last Hollies album in the U.S. or Canada on which songs composed by Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks and Graham Nash would be credited to "L. Ransford". In addition, one 1964 song included on the U.S. album is credited to another Clarke-Hicks-Nash pseudonym, "Chester Mann" (an inversion of Manchester, where the band was from).
