Editor's note

The Zombies' melodic pop with psychedelic touches

A British band whose 1967 album 'Odessey and Oracle' became a cult classic after their initial 1960s hits.

If you only know 'Time of the Season,' start with 'Care of Cell 44' - it's the better song from that same album. The 2001 album 'Breathe Out. Breathe In' shows they never lost the melodic touch.

They had that early hit with 'She's Not There' in 1964, but the real story is 'Odessey and Oracle' - an album their label shelved as too experimental until 'Time of the Season' broke through. Songs like 'Care of Cell 44' and 'Beechwood Park' from that record have held up better than most of what was actually popular in 1968.

Formed in St. Albans in the early 1960s, they scored a transatlantic hit with 'She's Not There.' After recording 'Odessey and Oracle' in 1967, they disbanded in the early 1970s, though Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone have revived the name periodically since.

Archive material and source history

The Zombies formed in St. Albans, England in the early 1960s with Rod Argent on keyboards, Colin Blunstone on vocals, Paul Atkinson on guitar, Chris White on bass, and Hugh Grundy on drums. Their debut single 'She's Not There' became a Top 10 hit in both the UK and US in 1964, establishing them with a sound that blended melodic pop with psychedelic touches.

After their initial success, the band recorded 'Odessey and Oracle' in 1967, but their record label initially shelved it as too experimental. The album was finally released in 1968 after the single 'Time of the Season' became a hit. Songs like 'Care of Cell 44' and 'Beechwood Park' from that album have since become fan favorites.

Though they disbanded in the early 1970s, the original members have remained musically active in various capacities. Argent and Blunstone have periodically revived the Zombies name for performances and recordings, including the 2001 album 'Breathe Out... Breathe In.'
