The Zombies: Colin Blunstone (vocals); Paul Atkinson (guitars); Rod Argent (electric piano); Chris White (bass instrument); Hugh Grundy (drums). This collection, remastered for SACD, covers the Zombies' short and tasteful career, spanning their 1964-1967 years for Decca Records, and their single album, the classic Odessey & Oracle, for Epic Records in 1968. Two versions of "She's Not There" are included here, one the so-called "stereo underdub" version that lacks the snappy drum overdub that gives the superior single version its crisp, edgy feel. There are also two mixes of "Time of the Season," the familiar version and an alternate mix that features a little more organ in the verse sections. ~ Steve Leggett
In 1963, the Zombies began as an R&B-inspired British Beat group, but the band soon developed into psychedelic popmeisters of the first order. With Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals and Rod Argent's keyboard colorations, the group made pop history with their masterpeice THE ODESSEY AND ORACLE, breaking up shortly thereafter in 1967. Though underrated by the public at large, the Zombies' work continues to wield a mighty influence over subsequent generations of power-poppers. In 1991, the group released a new album, and they continue to record and tour into the 21st century.
