The Hollies :: View topic

Hi Geoff,
Did it give a release date? I'm still interested in seeing what the 1976 NZ concert is, just can not believe we can be that lucky.
Thanks,
Anthony

...Ends

I'm a bit confused about the DVD contents - is it other live footage AND the New Zealand concert as well? Or are most of the songs listed in the DVD section part of the New Zealand concert and the others bonus tracks? (mind you, can't spot I Can't Tell The Bottom From The Top)

Hopefully the former is true as that means there may be a chance of Boulder and Amazing Grace appearing in the concert footage.

Not sure if I've made any sense there (I understand what I mean!)...will just have to wait for the DVD to pop through the front door, hopefully sometime next week...

Cheers,
Chirpy

Hi all,
I have just looked on ebay, the Dutch Collection is already listed.

I've ordered mine from CD Universe. US $34.98

New release date for The Hollies: The Dutch Collection is February 22.

Strange, because I just received them. I'm happy Very Happy

There's a slipcase, but I think this is limited. The CD and DVD are placed on top of each other in a normal CD jewel case. Not my favourite way of holding discs.

There's a 12-page-booklet inside. Very nice. The story is off course in Dutch, but most pages have details about the songs, including charts positions and some Dutch covers.

The Extra's:

- Interview With Graham Nash. (says the inlay)
Filmed in a tour bus in Holland. Not only Graham Nash is talking, but also Alan Clarke and their manager. Some Dutch manager is also interviewed in Dutch. It is interesting. I will translate this later, when I have some time. Alltogether great archive material!!!
- TV-performance of Star: Eddy Go Around Show (NCRV, Holland) 1976
- Promo of Boulder to Birmingham
- Interview with Tony and Terry in Australia, 1976. Interesting!!!
- Heartbeat: TV-performance, Telebingo (Avro, Holland) 1980 (very special!)
- Holliedaze: Top of the Pops 1981 with Graham Nash

euh.... No concert in New Zealand!!!!!

Ro-Robert

Thanks Ro Robert,
What was the news on the New Zealand concert?
I got myself a copy from ebay, a buy it now on the 12th of Feb. I'm off work next week and hope it arrives when I'm home.
What do you mean by April Films?
Sounds like you are happy with the goods, I'm really looking forward to my copy,
thanks again for the info,
Anthony
Sorry one last question, is the copy of Daddy Don't mind a good quality clip?, I just love that song.
Sorry about the questions but I'm excited about "The Dutch Collection"

Ro-robert is quite modest here. He actually runs a large DVD store in Holland and can also supply this DVD.

The Graham Nash interview 06-06-1964

The Questions are in Dutch. Translated in English:

- "Do you you have as the Hollies avery specific sound?"
Graham replies in English.
- "We have seen your show and we noticed that the girls screamed a lot. Have you any idea why they do that?"
Graham replies in English.
- The interview ends with the remarks: "Yes, why not. You only lost your freedom and every night you leave the theatre through a back door, but why not."

Then interviews starts in a bus in Holland: 27-01-1966

First Graham Nash gets a question about the Hollies name (all in English), than Tony
is asked how many TV-performances he made. another Hollie (sorry, don't know his name) gets a question what he will do once beatmusic is over. After this the roadmanager says a few words about what he does as a road manager. Bobby is next to get a question.

The following conversation is between two Dutch guys in Dutch. No subtitles so if you don't know any Dutch and you want to know what they are saying:

"Mr. Vis, what does a band like this earn per performance?"
"That's about 3500 guilders per performance and these guys play only half an hour."
"And if you compare this with Dutch Beatbands?"
"They earn about 125 to 700 guilders and they play 5 sometimes 6 hours."
"So that's quite a difference."
"A lot yes."

Finally Allan gets the question "How many records made the hitparade?"

Funny movement of Graham in the end scene.

Thanks Ro Robert,
The DVD sounds brilliant. I'm looking forward to the interview with Tony and Terry from Australia, funny I have Australian interviews from the band from 1983 and also 1987 so this will make my Hollies goodies from Australia into a nice collection.
Sounds like whoever put this DVD together did a first class job.
