1970 single by the Hollies
"I Can`t Tell the Bottom from the Top" is a song by rock group the Hollies, released in April 1970 as a single. It peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.[1]
Recording and reception
"I Can`t Tell the Bottom from the Top" was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, from 9 to 13 March 1970.[2] Elton John, who was working as a session musician at that time, played piano on the song.[3]
Reviewing for Melody Maker, Chris Welch wrote that "the Hollies drone on with implacable solemnity and it`s nice to hear their individual vocal harmonies again and Bobby Elliot`s drumming.[4] In Cash Box, it was described as a "slowly building ballad with more of the drama of “Reflections of My Life” than the Hollies` “He Ain`t Heavy,” this new side from the team features the same kind of emotional impact that guarantees satisfaction for old and new-found Hollies followers".[5] Record World called it " a low-key starter which builds and builds."[6]
