Comment
Album Released Only On The Hansa Label In GermanyTracks 12 - 22 seem to be from the Romany album released on Epic, which I believe is commercially available. I guess the seeder wanted to capture the Michael Rickfors period with the Hollies and he uses about half the Romany album. I didn't know these tracks were on here when I traded for the OOP album.

Notes on Out On The Road:

Allan Clarke was replaced by a Swedish guy called Mikael Rickfors, lead vocal and guitar (b. December 4, 1948) and he came from a Swedish band called Bamboo. He had more of a David Clayton Thomas of BST type voice.

The Hollies had a little hit "The Baby" with Mikael Rickfors and recorded 2 albums "Romany" and "Out on the Road" (only on Hansa label in Germany), and he wrote "The Last Wind" and "Don?t Leave the Child alone". And the best tracks from this time was: The Baby/Magic Woman Touch/Jesus was a Crossmaker.

In October 1973 The Hollies released "Out on the Road", but by that time Mikael
Rickfors had already been replaced by a returning Allan Clarke, who still wanted to do his solo work at the same time. The album was only released on the Hansa label in Germany. Mikael wrote 'The Last Wind' and 'Don't Leave The Child Alone' for the album. He also co-wrote 'They Don't Realise I'm Down' and 'A Better Place' with Terry Sylvester. The agreement The Hollies made was that Allan Clarke could do what he wanted outside the group, but actually, when he went back, The Hollies had a couple of hits and he spent most of the time with the group. Allan has released 9 solo albums.

A number of the songs were re-cut when Allan rejoined the Hollies in the Spring of 1973 and appear on the lp The Hollies (released in 1974) which also includes the hit "The Air That I Breathe".
