Good Old Rock and Roll
It has a couple of great tunes that never made the radio. The Zombies were the first album I bought in 1965 - a lot of the songs are on this CD.


Zombies
Unless you really like the group I would suggest other music. Their hits were too few. It was a disappointment for me. .


What gives? Digital Download Question
And it is, but its content is now limited. Amazon MP3 is supposed to be this DRM-Free Mp3 downloading paradise. So sure, I was a little bummed that the Zombies have no downloadable content on Amazon. I figure their label isn't keen on DRM free yet. So imagine my SHOCK to see that 'Time of the Season' in DRM-free form is availible from iTunes! You guys need to get on that! Don't let iTunes have some DRM free content that you don't have!

I am no fan of AAC, even if it is DRM free now in some cases. . . so please, pretty please, get stuff like The Zombies available as a DRM free MP3!.


Blast from the past!
I knew a couple of Zombies songs from a while back, but the sound from LP's and tapes was never good. I was very impressed by both the sound quality and the music. The sound on this SACD remix is vastly superior. It's not perfect, with still a little hiss, but there is much less distortion than the original mix. Also most of the recordings were apparently done with excellent recorders (for the time) because the high-end frequencies are all there! The sound is nearly transparent, like you're actually there in the studio. Back to the music itself, I discovered several great songs that I didn't expect to find. It's quite a blast from the past, and well worth the money.


Zombies at their best!
But someone recently gave me this new CD and I can hardly believe the difference! The quality of each track is amazing, revealing subleties not even hinted at in my old CD or, of course, in the original vinyl recording. For several years, I had a CD of Zombies greatest hits and was content to enjoy listening to some great old songs from a very talented group. The CD has all of the Zombie hits and the best of the rest. It avoids the later acid recordings that never caught on with fans on either side of the Atlantic.
