THE HOLLIES Distant Light 1972 Epic Original US 1st Press E 30958 1G/1E
Distant Light is the 1972 studio release from The Hollies, marking a mature period for the band as they transitioned into a polished early-70s rock sound. The album features the hit “Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)” along with “Long Dark Road” and “Look What We’ve Got,” blending tight harmonies with a harder, groove-driven production style.
An important U.S. Epic release during the band’s commercial peak, this title remains one of their most collected American pressings.
Original 1972 U.S. first pressing on Epic Records, catalog E 30958, with blue Epic labels.
Correct first stamper matrices: PAL 30958-1G (stamped) on Side 1 and BL 30958-1E (hand-etched) on Side 2.
