Hollies is the 14th UK studio album by the English pop rock group the Hollies, released in 1974, marking the return of Allan Clarke after he had left for a solo career. It features the band's cover of Albert Hammond's ballad "The Air That I Breathe," a major worldwide hit that year. The album has the same title as the band's third album from 1965.
The Space-themed sleeve design was fashioned by Jack Wood (who made artwork for Status Quo, Thin Lizzy or The Sensational Alex Harvey Band).LP was issued by Polydor in the UK in March 1979, but the album was overshadowed by the success of the compilation, The Hollies: 20 Golden Greats, which reached No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart shortly before.
The cover shown is the US/Canadian cover, which used the same Karl Ferris photograph but differed from the UK cover by dispensing with The Fool's overall cover design.

It was lifted from the band's Parlophone debut album, Stay with the Hollies, released on 1 January 1964, which went to No. 2 on the UK album chart. The Hollies became known for making cover versions, and they followed up with "Just One Look" (February 1964, UK No. 2), a song that had already had top 10 success in the US for Soul star Doris Troy.

"Mickey's Monkey" later appeared in 1966 on the forthcoming " Bus Stop " album, but "Fortune Teller" was never issued in the US until the 1990s.
The album was advertised on British television and the original UK album cover art referred directly to the advertisement. [2] In other countries, however, the album had a completely different cover, featuring a photo of the Hollies on stage.
