(3 out of 5 stars)
"To begin with, I've recently learned that leadsinger, Allan Clarke, has retired from the Hollies due to personalcircumstances. Regarding the CD at hand, here's where the quality of their estimable output begins to falter. While the sound is excellent, the Abbey Road series passes over a few hits, contains unreleased material and intrductory studio conversation that those seeking a catch-all compilation may find distracting. But there are rewards to be had, and this second installment will leave even the casual listener wondering why many of these tracks were left unfinished or unreleased until now. It is safe to say, if you've purchased one of the series, you'll want all three, as there's no counterpart, in sound or variety, to the Abbey Road releases in the entire Hollies' compendium. END"
