The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle (1968 UK Stereo) | Full Vinyl Rip | Psychedelic Pop Rock LP

This is Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies, released in 1968 on CBS in the UK. This is the original UK stereo pressing. Dreamy baroque pop, chamber psychedelia, and soaring harmonies - an all-time classic that didn’t get its due until years later. 🎧 This vinyl rip is from my personal collection 📺 Hear more full-album vinyl rips: 👉 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn&si=MUGY55cYVNT3OBDb 📷 More on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ “Time of the Season” was a surprise hit in the US, but most people had missed the album by then. Every track on this record holds up, lush production, sharp songwriting, and arrangements that still sound fresh. The UK stereo originals are tougher to find than both the UK mono and the more common US Date pressings. Rod Argent handled keyboards throughout the album, playing Mellotron, piano, and organ. He also sang backing vocals and took lead vocals on a couple of tracks, including the iconic “Time of the Season,” which he wrote. Colin Blunstone delivered most of the lead vocals, bringing his signature breathy tone to songs like “Care of Cell 44,” “A Rose for Emily,” and “This Will Be Our Year.” Chris White played bass, sang backing vocals, and wrote several of the album’s standout tracks, including “Maybe After He’s Gone,” “Beechwood Park,” and “Butcher’s Tale (Western Front 1914),” which he also sang lead on. Paul Atkinson played all guitar parts, both rhythm and lead - adding texture and tone without taking on writing duties. Hugh Grundy played drums and percussion, anchoring the album’s shifting moods with subtle, precise playing. All five members contributed to the album’s rich vocal harmonies. The record was co-produced by Rod Argent and Chris White, adding another layer of creative control from within the band. 💿 Tracklist: 00:00 Care Of Cell 44 03:52 A Rose For Emily 06:10 Maybe After He's Gone 08:42 Beechwood Park 11:25 Brief Candles 14:53 Hung Up On A Dream 17:49 Changes 21:06 I Want Her She Wants Me 23:58 This Will Be Our Year 26:06 Butcher’s Tale (Western Front 1914) 28:52 Friends Of Mine 31:09 Time Of The Season If you’re into Forever Changes, Pet Sounds, or Bee Gees’ 1st, this is a must.
