Lovely to hear the 1965 selection yesterday. I hadn't heard records like Roy Orbison's Goodnight or the Shadows' Mary Anne for many a year.
Intrigued, however, by the Hollies' Yes I Will. This wasn't the original and the same non-original track cropped up on SOTS the other week. Why should this be?

Is a Puzzlement, as Yul Brynner said in The King And I.
The Hollies website does actually list two versions of Yes I Will, with version two appearing only on the double-LP set History Of The Hollies. I have got that, buried away somewhere, and I'll have to get back to you - I certainly never noticed the difference at the time.

Well I've played the All The Hits & More CD, which is supposed to be Version 1, and The History LP, and they sound identical, in mono. Notes with the CD do refer to the track being re-recorded at some stage and they met Brian Epstein while doing so; conversely notes to the LP say they made sure the recordings used on it were those released as singles.
The one played on Sunday sounded as if stereo, although I suppose it could have been a remaster. As far as I know they didn't re-record their hits during the short time they decamped to Polydor, so it's a mystery. Someone else may know.
Funnily enough EMI are to release yet another compilation next month, 10 hits and 32 B-sides and album tracks; Yes I Will isn't one of them!
