The Hollies - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: 1966-1968

A few days ago, when I posted Volume 1 of the Hollies performing at the BBC, I mentioned that I only had three albums to share. I decided that didn't seem right, given how much I've found from similar 1960s groups, so I dug a little deeper and now have four. The first album is still the same. Here's Volume 2.

As I mentioned previously, there is an official BBC album for this band, called "Radio Fun." The vast majority of the songs here come from that. But four of them do not: "I've Been Wrong," "King Midas in Reverse," "Postcard," and "Pegasus." I don't know why those weren't included, because the versions here sound perfectly fine.

Also, similar to Volume 1, six of these songs suffered from the typical problem with these albums whereby BBC DJs talked over the starts and ends to some songs. But I fixed these using the X-Minus audio editing program, wiping the talking while keeping the underlying music.

The Hollies had a very important personnel change at the end of 1968, when Graham Nash left to group to join Crosby, Stills and Nash. I'm glad to say I managed to arrange things so the end of this album marks the end of the Nash-era BBC recordings. 

UPDATE: On November 27, 2021, I updated the mp3 download file. I added a song I'd previously missed, "Don't Even Think About Changing."
