Description
The Zombies Odessey & Oracle vinyl LP TES 4013 Date Stereo VG+
Your copy of Odessey and Oracle was originally released in 1968 on the Date label in the U.S. and CBS in the U.K.
…this appears to be an early U.S. stereo pressing from 1968, not a modern reissue. The “1A” matrix suffixes are typically associated with very early lacquer cuts.
The green Date label is also consistent with original-era U.S. pressings. That’s a desirable collector detail, especially with VG+ vinyl.
* “Time Of The Season”
* The album’s cult reputation
* Limited original commercial success at release
* Later rediscovery and critical acclaim
A solid VG+/VG+ original-style Date pressing like yours is definitely worth listing carefully and prominently highlighting as an early pressing.

Title: Odessey and Oracle

Classic U.S. Date Records pressing of the legendary Zombies album “Odessey and Oracle,” widely regarded as one of the essential psychedelic pop albums of the late 1960s.
Vinyl retains solid gloss with light signs of play consistent with VG+ condition. Jacket remains strong overall with moderate shelf/ring wear and clean spine presentation for its age.
An increasingly collectible psych-pop classic with beautiful orchestration, harmonies, and sophisticated songwriting.
