IF YOU COULD LOOK MY WAY
YOU'D KNOW THAT I EXIST
AND THEN YOU'D REALIZE
THAT I'M WAITING TO BE KISSED
For Certain Because
is the fifth
UK album
by
and their
second released
in 1966.
It was the first
Hollies album
in which all the songs
were written by
members
Allan Clarke,
Graham Nash,
and
Tony Hicks,
and the first
on which they
did not use
the songwriting
pseudonym
"L. Ransford"
(or just "Ransford").
It was also the first
Hollies album recorded
with new bassist
Bernie Calvert
replacing
Eric Haydock.
(Tracks 1- 12)
In Bobby Elliott's book
It Ain't Heavy, It's My Story,
he explains how
he came up with the title
For Certain Because
by taking the three words
from the children's song
"Teddy Bears' Picnic".
Most current CD releases
of this album
use the original
UK album title
and artwork,
but a recent
US CD
reissue series
instead uses
the US title
and artwork,
described below.
For Certain Because
was retitled
Stop! Stop! Stop!
for the US
and Canadian markets
and issued with a
different,
full-color cover image
of the group
in the US.
This was also the fifth
Hollies album
released in the US
and Canada.
It was the first
Hollies album
on which the track listing
for the UK version
remained unchanged
for the US
and the Canadian versions;
that would not happen again
until the 1970s.
In addition,
other markets
also used the title
Stop! Stop! Stop!
when issuing or
reissuing this album
including the UK,
which retitled this album as
Stop! Stop! Stop!
for a
1971 budget-line reissue.
In 1983,
Liberty Records
in the US
reissued this album as
Pay You Back With Interest
without the tracks
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
and
"High Classed".
Stop! Stop! Stop!
was the Hollies'
last new album
for Imperial Records
in the US
and for Capitol Records
in Canada
and would be followed by
a greatest hits album
on those labels.
The Hollies'
next album of originals,
Evolution,
would be released
in the US
and Canada
on Epic Records
while remaining on
Parlophone/EMI
in the UK
and would revert to
having a
different track lineup
between the
US/Canadian
and
UK versions.
