(1967)

The Hollies' Greatest Hits was the first

greatest hits collection by English pop group the Hollies. The album was released by Imperial Records in the US in May 1967[1] and by Capitol Records in Canada, under the title The Hits of the Hollies and with two different tracks, in July 1967.[2] It was the Hollies' highest charting album in the US, peaking at number eleven during a chart stay of forty weeks.[3] When Imperial was dissolved into United Artists Records
in 1971, this album went out of print, prompting Epic (the group's then-current label) to issue its own "Greatest Hits" album two years later.

The album was available in both mono and stereo formats. A little over half of the songs on the stereo version were electronically altered (e), meaning that the mono tapes were used.[4] The Canadian version of the album deleted the songs "Memphis" and "Tell Me to My Face", substituting early Hollies hits "Stay" and "(Ain't That) Just Like Me".

Neither

Parlophone Records, the current holder of the group's catalog, have issued this album on CD, as the 1973 US/Canadian greatest hits album on Epic, also titled The Hollies' Greatest Hits
, contains six of these hits ("Bus Stop", "Pay You Back With Interest", "Look Through Any Window", "Stop Stop Stop", "Just One Look" and "On a Carousel"). A version for sale in New Zealand was similar to the US version but added "Dear Eloise" "King Midas in Reverse" to give a total of 14 tracks compared to the US 12 tracks.
