| has gloss | eng: Romany is an album by The Hollies, the first not to feature distinctive, tenor-range lead singer Allan Clarke, who had left to try a solo career and was replaced by a Swedish singer with lower vocal register, Mikael Rickfors---prompting a somewhat radical reshaping of their trademark vocal harmony style. It was also the first Hollies album to feature only one song written or co-written by lead guitarist Tony Hicks, a member of the band's two in-house songwriting teams, Clarke-Hicks-Nash and Clarke-Hicks-Sylvester. Hicks was the only member of those teams to contribute a song to the album; Rickfors was the only other band member to contribute an original composition to it. The U.S. Epic version which reached #84 on the U.S album charts, omits the track "Lizzy and the Rainman", and has a slightly altered side one track order. "Courage of Your Convictions" was the one song that sounded most like their previous smash hit "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress", but was inexplicably never issued as a single. The cover of "Romany" shows the exact same scene as the previous album, but in the winter time as opposed to the summer scene on Distant Light. |

| has gloss | fra: Romany est le douzième album du groupe The Hollies, sorti en 1972, et le premier sorti après le départ du chanteur Allan Clarke, remplacé par le Suédois Mikael Rickfors. Du fait du départ de Clarke et, avant lui, de Graham Nash, les Hollies s'appuient de plus en plus sur des auteurs et compositeurs extérieurs au groupe. |
