Stay with the Hollies
1964 album by The Hollies
Stay with the Hollies, also known by its American release title Here I Go Again, is the debut studio album by the English rock and pop band the Hollies, released in January 1964 on Parlophone Records. In Canada, it was released on Capitol in July 1964, with a different track listing. In the US, Imperial Records issued the album under the title Here I Go Again in June 1964 to capitalize on the moderate success of the singles "Here I Go Again" (No. 107) and "Just One Look" (No. 98). It also features covers of well-known R&B songs, not unusual for Beat groups of the day.
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.
Recording, production and songs
After the group was signed to Parlophone, the Hollies made their studio recordings at EMI Studios, located on Abbey Road in London – which later had its name changed to Abbey Road Studios.
