Description
THE ZOMBIES Odessey And Oracle (Incredibly rare original 1968 UK 12-track mono vinyl LP, housed in a front laminated non-flipback picture sleeve. Overlooked on its original release but now regarded as one of the finest English pop/psych albumsof the era, this is the almost impossible to find MONO pressing.

TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
More Information
Recorded at Abbey Road and Olympic Studios between June and November 1967, by the time of the April ’68 release of ‘Odessey And Oracle’, the Zombies had effectively split-up. This obviously hampered the album’s commercial breakthrough and sales were low as a result. Although the STEREO edition of the album was subsequently re-pressed by CBS in the wake of the US success of the ‘Time Of The Season’ single, there was only one initial pressing of the MONO version – which we present here.
Condition
The picture sleeve is graded Very Good with a few light creases in laminate on the front, with merely a glimpse of ringwear and minimal wear to the edges & the text on the spine is clear. There is a handwritten price (?) of 37/6 written neatly at the top rear.
This has A1/B1 matrices.
The labels have some spindle marks to show that this has been played and enjoyed many times.
The vinyl is strictly graded as Good. There are some noticeable surface marks and some mild scratches to both sides. We have professionally cleaned and play tested both sides, and can confirm it plays through very well on our turntable without skipping, but during playback you may hear light background noise during the quieter passages.
Although far from mint, finding an original mono copies are becoming Increasingly hard to find, offered here at an advantageous price.
