The Zombies were an active, popular, and influential British band from 1965-1969. Unfortunately, they only released two albums during all of that time, their initial offering featuring "Tell Her No" and "She's Not There" and the undisputed psychedelic classic "Odessey and Oracle". The Zombies are almost exclusively known in the States for their 3 hit singles, the two previously mentioned and "Time of the Season" from "Odessey". Fortunately, that is not the entirety of their contribution to British rock. During their five year reign they constantly produced some of the finest singles released during that deservedly acclaimed and revered period. Problem is, if you were not in England at the time paying close attention, you totally missed these minor masterpieces. Problem solved! This CD collects all of the singles released by The Zombies during that era. Fantastic! The Zombies may have actually been too good for their own good. Complex arrangements, intelligent lyrics, and extensive use of minor chords made them seem a bit too refined and sophisticated for more common tastes. Kind of like The Yardbirds, The Zombies really had no equal, either when it came to their craftsmanship or considerable influence on other musicians. A total shame really, since all of these songs should be an indispensable part of any serious classic rock collection. This collection is, in essence, The Great Lost Zombies Album.Read full review
