Reviews Customer Reviews for The Long Road Home 1963 2003      More Dolts at EMI      Rating:      First off, I love the Hollies. I really can do without the 2000 era stuff but that's not the real crime here. The wizards at EMI (where do they find these guys - whew) decided to omit the studio versions of Bus Top (huh??), Just One Look, He Ain't Heavy, etc' for live versions from the 70's. That could be the most inane box-set decision I've ever seen. You spend all that cash and don't get those essential songs!! Then to top it all off you get that musical vomit bag Purple Rain. I can see the excitement melt off of some thrilled fan's face upon opening this as a gift. "WOW!! The Hollies.....uh, Bus Stop and Stop, Stop, Stop are live from the 70s, oh, uh, OK no studio versions? Uh, Purple Rain? Do they do any Shalamar covers on here"? There is a ton of great stuff on this, but Duh?? Find this used. This, by the way, is the company rumored to be discontinuing CDs. Thanks for your loyalty old chaps.....Hello EMI........Goodbye. Pffffft !!!!!     Customer Reviews for The Long Road Home 1963 2003 Cd      A Lot of stuff      Rating:      Holy Toledo. I was tired when the last disc stopped spinning !
