THE ZOMBIES
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 its era. Indeed, the Zombies' 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

After the double-sided hit single "She's Not There" b/w "You Make Me Feel Good" topped the U.S. charts in the fall of 1964,
Parrot Records quickly culled together this LP for 1965 release. The dozen tracks were taken from material the Zombies
cut for their 1965 U.K. debut album, Begin Here. Also included are "It's Alright With Me"
and "Sometimes" from the combo's self-titled EP. Regardless of presentation, The Zombies (Featuring
She's Not There and Tell Her No) aptly portrays the quintet of Chris White (bass), Rod Argent (keyboards/vocals),
Colin Blunstone (guitar/vocals), Paul Atkinson (guitar), and Hugh Grundy (drums) in terms
of the band's fresh blend of intelligent Brit-pop. Their efforts are equally laudable on the strength
of originals such as "Tell Her No" and "What More Can I Do" as they are on the blue-eyed soulful medley
interpretation of the Miracles' "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" with Sam Cooke's
"Bring It on Home to Me." This is stylistically complemented by the R&B rave-up on Muddy Waters' "I Got My Mojo Working"
and the ultra hip jazzy arrangement of the Gershwin standard "Summertime."
The Zombies' obvious appreciation for adeptly crafted melodies and rich vocal harmonies likewise
made them favorites of pop fans as well as more discerning listeners...(AllMusic)
