Something I’ve learned while compiling this list and researching the songs is that, particularly when it comes to British artists in the 1960s, the way things were released can be all over the place. A single could be released worldwide, but then it might not appear on a subsequent full-length release in the UK, though it appears on the same release in other territories. Other times, I’ve seen instances where individual territories have completely independent releases from each other, as was the case with this Hollies gem.
