Time of the Zombies

Time of the Zombies was a U.S. only 1974 two-LP compilation album of music by the British band, The Zombies.[1] It contained hits, non-album singles, previously unreleased tracks intended for a planned posthumous album named R.I.P. which was not released until 2000,[2] and the whole of their April 1968 album (recorded in 1967), Odessey and Oracle.[3] It was released on Epic Records[4] (cat. no.: REG 32861) in 1974, several years after the group had disbanded.[2]

Paul Weller stated in an interview with BBC Radio 4 in December 2012 that this compilation was how he first heard Odessey and Oracle, his favourite album of all time.[5]
