THE ZOMBIES

 ROD ARGENT, PAUL ATKINSON, COLIN BLUNSTONE, HUGH GRUNDY, CHRIS WHITE

Aside from the Beatles and perhaps the Beach Boys, no mid-'60s rock group wrote melodies 

as gorgeous as those of the Zombies. Dominated by Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals, choral backup harmonies, 

and Rod Argent's shining jazz- and classical-influenced organ and piano, 

the band sounded utterly unique for their era. Indeed, their material -- penned by either Argent 

or guitarist Chris White, with unexpected shifts from major to minor keys -- was perhaps 

too adventurous for the singles market. To this day, they're known primarily for their three big hit singles, 

"She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1969). 

Most listeners remain unaware that the group maintained a remarkably high quality of work for several years

SLEEVE EX (please, see pictures and read above description)

Odessey and Oracle was one of the flukiest (and best) albums of the 1960s, 

and one of the most enduring long-players to come out of the entire British psychedelic boom, 

mixing trippy melodies, ornate choruses, and lush Mellotron sounds with a solid hard rock base. 

But it was overlooked completely in England and barely got out in America 

(with a big push by Al Kooper, who was then a Columbia Records producer); 

and it was neglected in the U.S. until the single "Time of the Season," culled from the album, 

topped the charts nearly two years after it was recorded, 

by which time the group was long disbanded...(AllMusic)
