The Hollies - Hear ! Here ! (1965)

More than a year after the release of the last Hollies album in the US, the success of "Look Through Any Window" (The Hollies' first Top 40 hit in the U.S.) inspired Imperial Records, the Hollies' U.S. label, to finally release another Hollies LP.

In November 1965, Imperial released Hollies, with a slightly different track listing, as Hear! Here! in the U.S. Imperial removed "Fortune Teller" and "Mickey's Monkey" from Hollies and added the singles "I'm Alive" and "Look Through Any Window". The track listing was then and re-arranged so that the singles started each side.

Although the album is clearly a U.S. repacking of the Hollies album, the cover uses the photo from the UK In The Hollies Style LP, which was never released in the USA.

"Mickeys Monkey" later appeared in 1966 on Imperial's "Bus Stop" album, but "Fortune Teller" was never issued in the U.S. until the 1990s. In 2010, the mono version of this LP was reissued on 180 gram vinyl in the USA by Sundazed Records. (by wikipedia)
