Recorded at EMI’s Abbey Road studios in 1967 during the final months of the original group’s career, this masterpiece yielded their last great hit ‘Time Of The Season’, but was destined for release after The Zombies had broken up. It is the British pop group’s all-time classic ‘concept’ album, and was available on both stereo or mono LPs. All serious ‘completist’ record collectors and Zombies fans will want to savour a work that has been the subject of a huge revival of interest. Listen and you will understand why American A&R man Al Kooper insisted that Columbia put out the album, when it was in danger of being overlooked!
This was perhaps their greatest achievement, a critically acclaimed original 12-track album full of good songs ( more than doubled with bonus tracks.) Although the title ‘Odessey’ was misspelt, the music was perfect.
