Bus Stop is the fourth U.S. album by the British pop band the Hollies, released on Imperial Records in mono (LP-9330) and rechanneled stereo (LP-12330) in October 1966. It features songs ranging from both sides of the band's then-current hit single to material recorded in the Hollies' early days on the UK's Parlophone Records in 1963, 1964 and 1965. The song "Oriental Sadness" had previously been issued in the U.S. on the Hollies' album Beat Group! earlier in 1966.
Bus Stop was also the fourth Canadian album by The Hollies, released on Capitol Records in mono and stereo ((S)T-6195) on November 7, 1966. Unlike its American counterpart, it did not include any material from before the 1965 recording sessions for the Hollies album. Instead, the album combined the current single with generally unissued tracks from the UK albums Hollies and Would You Believe?. Three songs ("Oriental Sadness", "That's How Strong My Love Is" and "I Take What I Want") had previously been issued in Canada on the Hollies' album I Can't Let Go / Look Through Any Window earlier in 1966.
This was the Hollies' last album to feature original bassist Eric Haydock, who left the group early in 1966 following disputes with the group's managers, missing the recording session for "Bus Stop"; he was eventually replaced by Bernie Calvert.
