THE ZOMBIES In The Beginning... (2019 UK/EU limited edition 5-LP box set featuring the albums Begin Here, Early Days, Continue Here, R.I.P. and Odessey And Oracle, each one pressed on 180-gram coloured vinyl. The set is book-ended by the two ‘proper’ albums that the band recorded, Begin Here and Odessey And Oracle. In between, Early Days and Continue Here round up the band’s various A-sides, B-sides and EP tracks. The fourth LP faithfully recreates the 'R.I.P.' album, an intended posthumous release of overdubbed outtakes that was shelved when new band Argent emerged from the ashes of The Zombies. Housed inside a rigid slipcase picture box, with original cover artwork faithfully reproduced for each album, plus inner sleeves featuring photos & memorabilia. Hype sticker & factory sealed.

TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
The Zombies burst onto the UK and US pop scene in August 1964 with the smash hit "She's Not There", penned by keyboard player Rod Argent. Colin Blunstone's breathy vocals set the record apart from the band's contemporaries, and they followed it up with a second hit in "Tell Her No".
In 1967 The Zombies recorded the classic "Odessey And Oracle" album, but by the time the album was released in April 1968, the band had split up. "Time Of The Season" went on to be a huge hit in the US in 1969, selling over a million copies.

This 5 LP set is book-ended by the two 'proper' albums that the band recorded, "Begin Here" and "Odessey And Oracle". In between, "Early Days" and "Continue Here" round up the band's various A-sides, B-sides and EP tracks. The fourth LP faithfully recreates the "R.I.P." album, an intended posthumous release of overdubbed outtakes that was shelved when new band Argent emerged from the ashes of The Zombies.

The inner sleeves include many contemporary local and national press cuttings and photos from designer Phil Smee's extensive collection
