The Zombies are a British rock band, formed in 1961 in St Albans and led by Rod Argent, on piano and keyboards, and vocalist Colin Blunstone. The group scored a UK and United States hit in 1964 with "She's Not There". In the USA two further singles, "Tell Her No" and, in 1968, "Time of the Season", were also successful. Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle, comprising twelve songs by the group's principal songwriters, Argent and Chris White, is ranked 80 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Odessey and Oracle is the third studio album by British pop rock band The Zombies, released on 19 April 1968 by CBS Records. It is among the most critically acclaimed albums of popular music. Odessey and Oracle was recorded in 1967 after the Zombies signed to the CBS label. While their first album included several cover versions, Odessey consisted entirely of original compositions by Rod Argent and Chris White. Because the band split before the album was released, they never performed any of the songs onstage. The album sleeve contains a short text written by keyboard player Argent quoting William Shakespeare's The Tempest.
The famous misspelling of "odyssey" in the title was the result of a mistake by the designer of the LP cover, Terry Quirk (who was the flatmate of bass player Chris White). The band tried to cover this up at the time of release by claiming the misspelling was intentional.
