These Zombies sound very much alive. June 6, 2008

This sadly overlooked and neglected group (formed soon after they left school) at last get's the chance to shine, and I say hallelujah it's about time.
These songs by The Zombies, Colin Blunstone(AKA Neil MacArthur)and Argent have never been collected on the same album before, probably the fact that they had so many different record companies didn't help simplify things. Four of the songs on here are from the highly regarded Zombie album; "Odessey* and Oracle" (1968). That's worth a listen of anybodies time.(It's also number 80 in Rolling Stone magazines 500 all time greatest albums chart.)
Two highly regarded Blunstone solo albums are; "Ennismore", and; "One Year".
Regarding Argent I would say; "In Deep", and; "All Together Now", show them at their best.
It's worth checking those albums out if you like these offerings.
(*Trivia:~ Odyssey was misspelt on the album by one of the production staff, and not noticed until too late.)

As for the songs on here I've played this album many times already and I can honestly say I like them all, but I'll always regard Colin Blunstones solo effort's; "I Don't Believe in Miracles", and; "Say you Don't mind", as extra special. That man has such a distinctive singing style, It was great to hear him again. (Plus 1972 was a good year for me.)
There's also two Rock classics by Argent; "God Gave Rock and Roll to You", and; "Hold your Head Up".
Zombie band members were:- Rod Argent-keyboards, Paul Atkinson-guitar (Died 1/april/04), Colin Blunstone-vocals, Hugh Grundy-drums, Chris White-bass.

Here's what you get for your money.
(If; "I Don't Believe in Miracles", and; "Old and Wise", don't make you teary, you have no soul.)
