In The Hollies Style is The Hollies' second LP for Parlophone. Originally available in mono only, it was reissued in true stereo under the title The Vintage Hollies in 1967. In 1997, British EMI put both mono and stereo versions of this album onto a single CD.

Upon being released, The Hollies' second album drew little success. While their debut and third album both reached the top five in the album charts, In The Hollies Style didn't break the Top 100. This is probably because pop music was evolving fast in 1964 and this album looked and sounded relatively obsolete. However, it managed to retain the energy and excitement of their debut and demonstrated the development of The Hollies' songwriting. The debut album featured one original song; nearly half of the songs on In The Hollies Style (credited to "Ransford") are original.

For reasons unknown, none of the tracks on this album have been issued in the United States.
