PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

   <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

ORIGINAL 1965 first pressing  by one of the much loved British Invasion bands who had melodic song writing skills in the levels of The Beatles ...Their first album contains two timeless massive hits but also 9 other tunes that get less mention though truly enjoyable...

Next to the Beatles, the Zombies may have been the most mature and sophisticated songwriters of the early British Invasion. If this sounds like a wild overstatement, break out your guitar and try to play their stuff. Unlike competing acts like the Kinks and the Yardbirds, the Zombies actually knew the meaning of the terms minor key and modulation. This was a big deal back in late 1964/early 1965, when the Zombies were briefly thrust upon the international scene with two smash singles - "She's Not There" and "Tell Her No." Admit it, the melody lines so strong, one or the other or both could easily be going through your head at this very moment. This is technically as tight a group of well-dressed young gentlemen as there were in '65, and they had an unstoppable secret weapon in Rod Argent, a keyboard wizard who remains on the short list of All-Time Great rock organists. There's a pure visceral thrill one enjoys from listening to Argent's berserk solos and through-lines that you may not get from most of the other pop stuff that came out during this period - including and/or especially the Beatles' stuff from '65. The Beatles had Lennon, of course, and Lennon was trying his best to rise above the fray creatively, as a songwriter; but what the Beatles didn't have, what no one else had, was a true VIRTUOSO cutting lose on their albums, not as a producer (a Phil Spector or a George Martin) and not as a session man, but as and FRONTMAN. (Blunstone's vocal contributions must not be undervalued, and Argent was writing the material and setting the tone.)

Anyway. The album? It boasts two capital-G Great songs and an assortment good ones (sad ommision: terrific b-side 45 "I Love You"). That's par for the course for 1965. Though certainly the highs on that album are >>>> the highs on this one, which are basically a collection of early singles, featuring half a dozen original songs combined with several R&B covers worked over by that special, very special ZOMBIES magic....
