The Zombies - This Will Be Our Year
Oh. Right. I guess I’m supposed to actually write stuff here instead of simply, “Tee hee! I like a girl!”
The Zombies began recording their masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, in June of 1967 at Abbey Road Studios, where earlier that same year the Beatles had recorded Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pink Floyd had recorded The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It was the first time Abbey Road had been used for a band that wasn’t on EMI (the Zombies were signed to CBS). Sadly, by the time the album was eventually released in the summer of 1968, the band had broken up due to lack of financial success.
After “Time of the Season” became a surprise hit in 1969, a US release was planned for the album. However, Columbia Records insisted the album be done in stereo, so the Zombies two principle songwriters, Rod Argent and Chris White, had to spend most of the money they had made on royalties remixing Odessey and Oracle. Only one track, “This Will Be Our Year” was unable to be redone from the original mono recordings, due to a missing horn overdub. 2 months ago
