Story & Background
"For Certain Because", released by Parlophone in 1966 in this first pressing, holds fundamental historical importance for The Hollies. It is their first album entirely composed by the internal trio Clarke, Hicks and Nash, marking a bold departure from the practice of relying on external composers. This choice was not only a testament to their songwriting abilities, but a true manifesto of artistic autonomy. It elevated the band beyond the mere label of a pop group, consecrating them as a mature and ambitious creative entity. This original edition is an essential document that captures the precise moment when The Hollies crystallised their identity, defining their status in the rapidly evolving British music scene.
