Title: I grew up with the Zombies, but I'd like this anyway
Review: Chris White's parents owned our local grocery when I was a kid, and his Mum used to pop "the boys'" latest single in with our weekly order for me and my brothers, so I was familiar with their work from the beginning. Beechwood Park, which gives its name to one of the songs here, is the grounds of a private school near our home.The irony is that they made such an enormous musical stride forward just before breaking up. This album (I have the German Repertoire label copy with many bonus tracks, not this latest remaster) is definitely one of the finest albums of the 60s for both its songwriting and musicianship. Like another of my favourites, Forever Changes, it did not sell well at the time but is now recognised as a classic. If you haven't heard it, just listen.
Is the review positive or negative?
