content: If i asked you to name masterpiece albums from the 60's you'd probably come up with a handful...'Sgt Pepper'...'Days of Future Passed'... 'Pet Sounds' and so on! 'Odessey' without a doubt is right there - unfortunately whether it be bad timing; not enough backing and the production being somewhat lacking, this group never got their due - yet even now we hear a few songs on the radio. This album at its core is as good as anything done by the Beatles!! If you read the libretto from the recently released box set, people like Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townsend and Tom Petty paint adoration to this wonderful group. 'Odessey and Oracle' is perhaps one of the best albums of any era and it's unbelievable that in a time of tremendous competition the Zombies managed to create their own unique sound and style. This recording forever remains a true masterpiece!
