Evolution is the first of two albums released in 1967 by British pop rock band The Hollies. Like its predecessor, For Certain Because, this album features only songs written by group members Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, and Tony Hicks.
Drummer Bobby Elliott only played on three songs on the album due to appendicitis and, as a result, he was substituted for by Dougie Wright, Clem Cattini and Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Evolution and its respective singles were recorded at EMI's Abbey Road studios in just six days spread over three months in early 1967, at the same time the Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
This special release contains the album in both Mono and Stereo mixes. The stereo version of this album features a few tracks, but not all, in the "instruments on one channel, vocals on the other" mixing style heard on earlier Hollies stereo albums.
