Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

UK - DECCA - SPA 85 (STEREO/MONO)
CLEAN COPY, 42 years old and plays MINT
RARE original 1976 BRITISH first pressing with nice laminated sleeve that includes the 42 year old DECCA Records printed & plastic lined inner sleeve to the UK issue...
16 tracks from 1964-67, including their most popular sharp 45 mixes and a couple of LP tracks.
This is a great collection in true stereo (& Mono) of their early singles (A's and B's) including the obvious hits "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No".
Includes tracks in MONO which were pre-first LP 45 SIDES which do not appear on their two famed albums...
This was the first ZOMBIES overview album, released in 1970 and represents a good companion to Odessey and Oracle. As early as 1964, the Zombies were writing songs that no-one else were writing: their early hits like 'She's Not There' and 'Tell Her No' were harmonically and melodically more complex than the best Beatles stuff, and just as catchy and emotional. The band's main creative force, keyboardist Rod Argent (although bassist Chris White was just as productive when it came to songwriting), practically redefined the use of the organ back then, playing witty, sophisticated riffs and solos and showcasing his classical music influences way before art-rock came along.
In this way, the Zombies weren't followers; they were leaders. Unfortunately, the commercial tide turned against them sometime in mid-1965, and after the two hits namechecked above they started releasing flop after flop. For what reason, one cannot figure; many of these Zombie tunes are great. Maybe "mannered" baroque-pop was simply going out of fashion, what with the Stones and the Who setting the trends of the epoch; on the other side, the tremendous disadvantage of the Zombies was that they never really knew how to make good old fashioned rock-n-roll. In any case, the band just simply fizzled away in the end because they couldn't make ends meet. A 60's overview collection like this can easily make any unconverted fan a total addict. We won't fall into the general anti-hype trap and say that the Zombies are almost as great as the Beatles or anything like that; the Zombies never transgress the borders of POP like the Beatles did, and their almost total lack of any will for experimentation or stepping away from their 'formula' created their own undoing. But why complain? Do the intellectual wimps a favour and get this 41 year old gem...you could do far worse... The Zombies are worthy of your collection.
