Customer Reviews

What a surprise!
The Hollies have been ignored for too long. There are so many 'Greatest Hits' albums available covering the Hollies 30 + years in the industry, all of them unavoidably good. However, this is an album that really works. Few of the songs that appear on this album appear on your average 'Hollies Greatest' releases, but this is in no way a reflection of the material on 'Butterfly'.

Never a band at the forefront of the British Psychedelic movement but here they prove that they are able to tap into the sixties spirit as well as (and better than) most other bands of the time. This album deserves more recognition alongside other albums of a similar ilk eg: 'Sgt Pepper', 'S.F. Sorrow' and 'Odessey and Oracle'.

This was one of the last Hollies releases to feature Graham Nash and the Hollies dynamic harmony acrobatics are present throughout the album.

Well worth a place in your collection if you're a fan of 60's music.

Hollies In Best Of Company
Probably, the most consistent group of hitmakers during the 1960`s. Regular chart visitors in Musics golden period. Clarke, Nash, Hicks, Elliot and others including Eric Haydock, Bernie Calvert and after Graham Nash`s departure into Crosby, Stills, & Nash they had former Swinging Blue Jeans Guitarist Terry Sylvester and since they have kept going with other line-ups. During the mid sixties this gem of an album cam,e out in the summer of love period and was so different from their singles. It is still refreshing to hear it today with Nash and Clarke at their brilliant best and Tony Hicks outstanding as a lead guitarist. Stand out tracks are Butterfly, Pegasus the flying horse and especially Would you believe which surely would have been a great choice for a single. In fact would you believe was the working title for this album and was changed down the line. Produced by Ron Richards Try this C D you will love it because those oh so consistent Hollies could live with the best and even in their experimental stage they didn`t disappoint.
