Every week I like to pick up an album by a band I've never heard before. Last week it was Pere Ubu, this week The Zombies. Although I might have made the mistake of buying a copy lacking the mono versions. Doh!

"Odessey & Oracle" plus "The Decca Stereo Anthology" contain absolutely everything anyone would ever need by The Zombies.

I would search out "R.I.P.", their final album which never actually got a proper release (though all the tracks are available on the aforementioned box set and there's a Japanese CD release too). "I'll Call You Mine" is maybe my favorite song they ever recorded:

What's the song out now that samples "She's Not There"? I heard it in the car today, first time. More interesting than particularly good. (Google gave me an Eminem song, but this was a woman.)

Oh nevermind that samples Time of the Season.

If that's new, that's got to be it--I just got the two mixed up, I think. Thanks.

Only 'recent' song (2012) I know which samples it is from Kompakt. Blond:ish - it's too late:

If you're looking for covers rather than samples Nick Cave and Neko Case covered it for the True Blood soundtrack and I think Glee used it as well.

time of the season has been sampled several times... here's some of them not sure if what you're looking for is here

imo, zombies should be held in same regard as the beatles, doors. odyssey and oracle is a masterpiece in songwriting, vocal harmonies and studio mastery. those sample of songs sampling them makes me fucking livid.. sample some unknown shit. but whatever.

anybody go out to see the "odessey & oracle" 50th anniversary tour? chris white plays the second half of the show (when they do the record front to back).
saw them in mpls last night and it was fucking insane. colin blunstone is spot on, the arrangements are super tasteful, i almost wept with joy.
so nice also to hear rod and colin tell little anecdotes between the songs (in the first half when they play their early hits). these guys are obviously so grateful, so happy to being doing what they're doing at 70+

Saw the show in Durham, NC last month. The first part was decent,-and the Odessey portion was absolutely great. I enjoyed Chris White breaking up Blunstone and Argent's jeans-and-leather-jackets theme by wearing a high-collared maroon suit that I'm pretty sure was paisley.
― JRN, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 05:06 (seven years ago) link
Do keyboard players tend to lose dexterity as they age? I would imagine so, and maybe Argent has, but I couldn't tell.

Aside: Great article from last year about the group that toured the US as the Zombies to cash in on their success. Included 2/3 of ZZ Top!

which, as the article explains (though i've read this elsewhere on some zombies fan site), led the zombies to record their great lost album, unreleased until 2012 i think.
anybody have an opinion on "rip" ? it's one of those things (like the vu quine tapes) that i keep thinking i'll buy but never do.
― budo jeru, Thursday, 20 April 2017 01:49 (seven years ago) link
thanks for that youtube clip upthread. i've always loved that song and that 'era' of the zombies but hadn't seen that video before. plus, i never realized what a tall drink of water blunstone used to be.
― dynamicinterface, Thursday, 20 April 2017 02:34 (seven years ago) link
just came back from seeing the Zombies at the Grammy Museum, in a small theater there. It was about an hour and forty minutes, the first hour being an interview with Colin, Rod, Chris, and Hugh, and the remainder being a set of Zombie songs (including a pair of new ones, which I thought were a cut below but performed with a lot of joy that was infectious.) This set was just Rod on piano and Colin singing, which was remarkable. He can still belt it out at 71. They played about ten songs, i think. Such legends.

Picked up Time of The Zombies, a double LP comp Epic put together in the '70s. The second side is a bunch of stuff slated for RIP (post O & O sessions w/Argent & White), and almost all new to me. It's like The Left Banke if they'd been grownups.

Can’t check now but I think all of that is on the Zombie Heaven box

Zombie Heaven has everything from the '60s. RIP itself finally came out in the 2000s.

Time of the Zombies is so great, plus you get all of O&O in it

I thought Heaven had a bunch of post O&O stuff on it and comparing track lists on discogs it sure she seems like all of Time is on Heaven but maybe I’m misunderstanding you
― rob, Sunday, 27 September 2020 19:48 (three years ago) link
Bad phrasing on my part. Zombie Heaven is their complete recordings (all of which were made in the '60s) RIP was later broken off as its own individual release a few years later.
― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 27 September 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link
...and apparently a bundle of recordings not included in the box were released as Into The Afterlife in 2007.
