Hello were one of the popular glam rock bands of the mid-70s in the UK, creating great melodies backed by pounding drums, heavy guitars and boyish vocals. The band didn't have many hits, but a quick look at this collection of singles and their flip sides makes it clear that there could have been many more. Beginning with the 1972 boogie-glam "You Move Me" to their drummer Jeff Allen's 1982 solo single, the collection illustrates Hello's attempts to chart as music and fan preferences changed. A shocking 1974 cover of the Exciters' "Tell Him" became their biggest hit, peaking at number six on the UK singles chart. 1975's "New York Groove" was another hit for them, although it didn't fly as high, but it still sounds fresh decades later. Hello's discography has had its ups and downs, but this collection is the best way to take part in the action-packed journey through the musical landscape of this extraordinary group.
