"Hollies" is The Hollies' third LP for Parlophone. This is also called "Hollies '65" to differentiate it from a similarly-titled 1974 album. It went to #8 in the UK album charts. Originally available in mono only, it was reissued in true stereo under the title "Reflection" in 1969. In 1997, British EMI put both mono and stereo versions of this album onto a single CD.

Of the twelve tracks on this album, only "So Lonely" was issued on 45; even then, it was the B-side to the 1965 hit "Look Through Any Window", a song recorded concurrent with the rest of this album.

US version vs. UK version

In 1965 Imperial Records (LP-9299) released "Hollies" with a different track listing as "Hear! Here!". Imperial removed "Fortune Teller" and "Mickey's Monkey", added the singles "I'm Alive" and "Look Through Any Window" (the Hollies first American Top 40 hit) and re-arranged the track listing. Strangely, the cover used the photo from the UK "In The Hollies Style" LP, which was never released in the USA.
