The Zombies- Live On The BBC 1965-1967: Day 10

Not only are we nearing the end of the year, but we are also closing in on the end of the decade. This got me thinking of bands that have been around for over 50 years that are still active either through touring or recording new music. Fifty years is that magic age when you realize you are truly getting old and start to reflect back on the past. This past year saw the 50th anniversary of some classic albums released in 1969. Deluxe anniversary editions of records such as Abbey Road (Beatles), Let It Bleed (Stones), Arthur (Kinks), Tommy (The Who), just to name a few, remind us this was a great era of music. Celebrating it's 51st anniversary is an under the radar classic (at least at the time), the Zombies epic, Odessey and Oracle which has gained more critical acclaim as the years have gone by. Along with the previously mentioned bands, the Zombies have been around for well over 50 years, in fact they were formed in 1962, so they are approaching 6o years. There are few bands from that era who may have a member or two to carry the name, but at least the Zombies can boast they have their key principle members of Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent still a part of the most recent version of the band. The Zombies haven't shown signs of slowing down either as they continue to tour and perform since reforming in the 2000's. They have visited Winnipeg a few years back and are due in town at the local casino event centre on April 15, 2020.

Believe it or not, the Zombies only released two albums during their heyday in the 60's. They were more of a singles band than album oriented. They have actually put out more new material in the 2000's after reforming, though R.I.P. (aka: The Lost Album) from 2000 was a studio album of tracks Argent and Chris White planned to release in 1969, as well as demos and outtakes from previous sessions. A cool documentation of the Zombies in concert, Live on the BBC 1965-1967 was released in 1985 on Rhino Records. is an excellent solid mix of R & B covers and original songs. I bought this LP for a co-worker, who is a huge Zombies fan, and before giving it away I digitized the album for personal use. This is what is posted below, ripped directly from the original vinyl transferred to FLAC format. It's a very enjoyable recording, even includes interview segments that can't help but make you love this band even more. Have a listen and go see them live because I'm sure they'll be playing at a casino near you...very soon!
Enjoy!
