{"product_id":"the-zombies-1","title":"THE ZOMBIES","description":"In 1966, the Zombies had already realized some success from their debut album, BEGIN HERE, but could not get their initial label, Decca, to release a follow-up. They defected to CBS, for whom they would record their masterwork, ODESSEY AND ORACLE, and, in the interim, Decca put out I LOVE YOU, a singles compilation that never saw US release. THE ZOMBIES (2004) marks the first American pressing of the aforementioned album, buoyed by a generous number of bonus tracks (additional A- and B-sides from the group's Decca years). While the conceptual baroque-pop sophistication of ODESSEY was still down the road, the phase represented by THE ZOMBIES shows the group to be one of the finest of the British Invasion-era bands--at their best they were fully on par with the Beatles' contemporaneous work.\nColin Blunstone's smokey, fragile tenor and Rod Argent's jazz\/R\u0026amp;B-tinged electric keyboards drive the Zombies' sound, as the disc moves through familiar hits (\"She's Not There,\" \"I Love You\") and more obscure tracks (the airy, touching \"The Way I Feel Inside,\" the swirling, atmospheric \"Gotta Get a Hold of Myself\"). While the absence of CBS material keeps this from being a definitive anthology, it's as fine a slice of mid-'60s British pop as one could desire.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: DDD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 6\/30\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zombies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48708413948119,"sku":"EE0KI3-P3UE-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6929\/0168\/files\/Monostereo-Zombies-The-Zombies-Vinyl-_2rOkT.jpg?v=1780480262","url":"https:\/\/provosvintagegroove.com\/products\/the-zombies-1","provider":"Provo's Vintage Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
