'Mark 2' Hollies Rockin compilation idea

[gee]

We have had collections of songs with orchestral accompaniment, 'Love Songs', 'Little Names' (!),  and 'Ballads' album 5317704 plus A's and B's set etc...

BUT what if for a change they put together a compilation of guitar led more powering Hollies numbers by the Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester 'Mark 2' Hollies line up going from say 1970 to 1980 ?

wouldn't such a Hollies twenty two track compilation CD make an interesting collection - WITHOUT a slow ballad in sight !

here's a suggested track listing;

1. Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)
2. Hey Willy
3.Perfect Lady Housewife
4..The Day That Curly Billy Shot Down Crazy Sam McGee
5.Tip of The Iceberg
6.Down On The Run
7.Rubber Lucy
8.Transatlantic Westbound Jet
9.Out On The Road
10. No More Riders
11.Look Out Johnny
12.Time Machine Jive
13.You Gave Me Life
14.Crocodile Woman (She Bites)
15.48 Hour Parole
16.Russian Roulette
17.Louise
18.Crossfire
19.Burn Out
20.That'll Be The Day
21.Think it Over
22. If The Lights Go Out 

All titles by Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester 'Mark 2' Hollies 

I would keep such a set to just the one incarnation of the group for continuity reasons

I think such a compilation CD would both spotlight the more guitar led version of the 'Mark 2' Hollies and make a refreshing change from all those slow ballads !

Could not stand the late Ballad albums, they were so boring, I really Liked daddy Don't mind, would love to see that here. I thought Russian Roulette was the last good album of the 70's. It had some real up tempo numbers..

Only song that was to me a real nothing song was Be With You, great harmonies but boring.
