The Hollies' Greatest Hits

~ Release by The Hollies (see all versions of this release, 9 available)

Annotation

This release has a blue/black label on the record. There is a release with the same catalog number from 1973 that has an orange label.

The record label says track 11: Long Dark Road is 4:19. However, the vinyl rip of the song is ~50 seconds shorter. Looking at Disc IDs attached to CD versions of this album shows there are two versions of this recording, one at 4:19 and one at 3:26. This release has the latter and the record label is in error.
