A few weeks ago I was in Madrid and was very pleased to discover more Hollies CDs than I have ever seen in Dublin.

So I purchased:

The Hollies At Abbey Road '62 to '89, the 3 CD set for 30 someting euros. Pretty good? Some very interesting material on there like Son of A Rotten Gambler, Samuel, Layin to the Music and Sign of the Times. I think Cos You like to Love Me is cool too.

Despite all that is there, there are still so many bits of B sides etc. missing. Collecting could go on forever, which is nice. Im currently intrigued by a song apparently named "Row The Boat Together".

I also bought the 4CD set of Romany, Hollies, Another Night and a Crazy Steal. I think I did well here, because it should be out of print? I havent given any of them a good listen yet, except for Romany which is very cool if not exactly the Hollies. A lot of great tracks. Rickfors surely is a soulfull guy.

What's the verdict on Out On The Road? Was this issued on CD in Germany even? Did the guys pen more of their own material for this? or is mostly other writers like Romany?

Well done Micheal, sounds like they have a Gaslight record shop in Madrid too.

Hi Michael!

I don't know if Out On The Road is available on CD, I've got the LP. All of the songs on it are selfwritten. There's even one co written by Bobby Elliot, Trans Atlantic Westbound Jet!!! This one and Out On The Road (the song) were rerecorded with Allan Clarke on vocals for The Hollies 1974 album which you've bought too.
