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 is strictly graded VG-, the front actually looks great with some light creases to the laminate only. The non-laminated back has some light age discolouration, and unfortunately a very small amount of paper loss where a sticker has been removed.

It is a common misconception that the mono is rarer than the stereo pressing. While the mono has become very desirable in the collectors markets, there were fewer stereo copies pressed.

There are a few minor spindle marks on both labels to indicate play. There are a few scuffs and some light cosmetic surface marks. We have professionally cleaned and play tested the record all the way through & it still sounds brilliant with just the odd light pop or crackle. This is easily graded very good but still sounds excellent.

Of course, the album is consistently in the top 3 when it comes to polls for all time classic British sixties psych records.

Highly recommended.
