Other singles from the album included "Fly Across the Sea" and the #1 charting (in Canada) "Last Song".

Intro to "The Messenger", a live version from the House Of Yes: Live From House Of Blues CD/DVD (2000). Recorded Hallowe'en night 1999 at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas. The song is originally from the 1999 studio album The Ladder.
"The Free Electric Band" comes from Albert Hammond's 1973 album of the same name (pictured at right). The song was apparently a pretty big hit back in '73, reaching #48 in the US and #19 in the UK. But I've never heard it played on the radio myself, not back then or any time since, so I guess it didn't get airplay around here.
However, I discovered the tune due to its inclusion on a K-Tel record (also from 1973) I had called Fantastic. K-Tel records will always be part of music nostalgia for people of my generation. Remember the TV commercials? "A great new album from K-Tel!" Here's the TV spot for Fantastic: 
From the 1985 album Running Wild.
Drawn from the 1971 album Distant Light, the single "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" actually had more success in other countries than it did in The Hollies' native UK. There the song topped out at #32 on the charts. In the US it reached #2, while it was a #1 chart-topping hit in both Canada and Australia. Tabbed here is the Intro.
