专辑介绍

by Richie Unterberger

In The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock'n'Roll, Lester Bangs wrote of the Hollies, &During the British invasion, they were mostly just bad, grinding out sloppy covers of 'Stay, ' 'Do You Love Me, ' 'Lucille' and 'Memphis' in the most shamelessly churn-'em-up, bash-'em-out Liverpudlian manner.& While this is an unfair overgeneralization, it's basically an accurate assessment of their first album, which contains all of the above-mentioned cuts. The group stuck to the tried-and-true rock/R&B cover staples of dozens, if not hundreds, of British bands circa 1963 on this 14-cut LP, which featured only one original composition. The Hollies' harmonic blend had yet to fully coalesce; there's plenty of energy, but the voices are adenoidal (and not always in perfect key) and the performances almost embarassingly callow. Nonetheless, the album was a huge hit in Britain, reaching number two and staying in the Top Ten for 18 weeks. &Stay& itself had been their first U.K. Top Ten hit in late 1963, and the album's best track, the edgy R&B/harmony rendition of &Watcha Gonna Do 'Bout It,& was one of their better early cuts. The group also covers Ray Charles, Roy Orbison, Conway Twitty, &Rockin' Robin,& and &Mr. Moonlight& (before the Beatles) on this set.
