Begin Here 1965 What a year to start
There is no higher concept and there are too many mediocre covers of old soul songs. Begin Here is a great album, but not in the later sense of the word. What you also get with this album is a youthful energy and short amazingly catchy tunes that give one the essence of the mop top.

"She's not there" and "Tell her no" are known, but "I can't make up my mind","I remember when I loved her", and "I don't want to know" are rarely heard today but very satisfying. What you are getting with all these songs is high energy, yet still melodic vocals from Mr Blunstone. These interact very well with the vagely half-witted yet strangely fitting background vocals to give a youthfull energy that was perhaps unique to baby boomers coming of age. Mr. Argent's organ playing and the great transitions keep everything hopping along. No politics or drugged out guitar solos here to spoil the fun, and fun it is.


Zombies - 'Begin Here' (Big Beat)
I'm seeing a couple of tunes here that either I've never heard of or I just plain don't remember. Total of 22 tracks from this under-appreciated and under-rated British Invasion act. Cuts like "Road Runner", the ballad "Summertime","She's Not There","Remember When I Loved Her"(I've been looking for this song for a long time,used to have it as a B-side of a 45 single),"Tell Her No","Kind Of Girl" and "Sticks And Stones". An absolute must-have.
