Stay with the Hollies is the first album released by The Hollies. The album was released in the United Kingdom on the Parlophone label, owned by EMI, in January 1964. In Canada an album with the same title was released on the Capitol 6000 label, also owned by EMI, in July 1964 with a completely different track listing. In the US, Imperial Records released yet another version of this LP under the title Here I Go Again in June 1964.
Background
After the success of the Liverpool-based group The Beatles, many artists and repertoire men from London-based record labels went to Liverpool in search of other beat groups. When Ron Richards from Parlophone visited Liverpool in early 1963, the group playing that night at the Cavern Club was The Hollies, who were actually from Manchester. Richards promptly signed them to Parlophone, which was also The Beatles' label.[1]
Recording, production and songs
After the group was signed to Parlophone, the group made their studio recordings at EMI Studios, located on Abbey Road in London – which later had its name changed to Abbey Road Studios. The group was produced by Ron Richards, who was the primary assistant to George Martin, produced other Abbey Road artists such as Gerry & the Pacemakers, and later started Associated Independent Recording with Martin and John Burgess. Because Parlophone already had The Beatles, Richards had The Hollies release a series of singles. However, by the end of 1963, despite the departure of original drummer Don Rathbone, The Hollies' single releases had been successful enough for Parlophone to release an album by the group.
From the beginning, the songs performed by The Hollies were known for the vocal harmony between Allan Clarke, Tony Hicks, and Graham Nash, which enabled them to bring a different sound to older tunes. In fact, most of the songs on the album were originally written and performed by Americans, including Chuck Berry, a favorite among beat groups. The only original composition on the British album was "Little Lover", written by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash. The American release also only had one original, the Bobby Elliott/Tony Hicks composition "Keep Off That Friend of Mine", while the Canadian release included both "Little Lover" and the Graham Nash composition "Hey What's Wrong with Me".
Charts
The single "Stay" was released by Parlophone in November 1963 and eventually peaked at #8 on the UK Singles Chart. Stay with The Hollies followed three months later and peaked at #2 on the UK Albums Chart.[2]
