Tracklisting & More Information

Recorded at Abbey Road and Olympic Studios between June and November 1967, by the time of the April '68 release of Odessey And Oracle, the Zombies had effectively split up. This obviously hampered the album's commercial breakthrough & sales were low as a result.

Condition
The sleeve on this copy remains very nice indeed. The laminate is beautifully vivid with the colours in Terry Quirk's psychedelic design remaining impactful.
The sleeve shows just a little light shelfwear with only small creases to the laminate in places (corners/edges) with the gold 'Stereo' sticker still in place to the back. All text is still perfectly clear.

The vinyl is superb and has retained its sheen. Upon close inspection, there are a couple of light surface scuffs (light hairline to Side 1) and a small number of spindle marks around the centre hole.
This copy has smooth centred labels with smooth perimeter.
The LP has seen very low mileage, being bought at the time of release, played just a select number of times & stored away, not seeing daylight again until now.

This is easily one of the better vinyl copies of this rare record that you are ever likely to find and the sleeve shows no more wear than you might expect after over fifty years - A gem.

Of course, the album is consistently in the top three when it comes to polls for all time classic British sixties psych records.

Highly recommended.
