MIDAS TOUCH - THE VERY BEST OF THE HOLLIES

From 1963 through to the mid 70s, The Hollies had more hits than even The Beatles. In that period alone, they had 17 Top ten hits, while “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” gave them a second No 1 hit when re.released in 1988. “I’m Alive” had been their first chart topper back in 1965

At the heart of the band since 1963 are two original members, drummer Bobby Elliott and guitarist and singer Tony Hicks, still at the core of the Hollies who undertake a 17 date UK tour in March

In addition to the plethora of unforgettable hits, The Midas Touch includes album tracks like “Dear Eloise”, “Butterfly”, “Rain On The Window” and “Pay You Back With Interest” plus further hits like “Hey Willy”, “Soldier’s Song” and “Gasoline Alley Bread”.

The Midas Touch alludes to another classic Hollies' song, "King Midas In Reverse", here given a new mix by Paul Hicks (Tony's son), done at AIR Studios

This new anthology is superb testament to one of Britain’s best loved groups and one of its most original and innovative . combining soaring and distinctive harmonies, brilliantly crafted songs and cultivated, often experimental musicianship and arrangements. The Hollies catalogue of hits, like that of the Beatles, the Kinks, or the Beach Boys has ensured their longevity, one of the greatest pop groups to emerge in the 60’s and whose music remains fresh, yet familiar and timeless
