Day 0131 - Odessey and Oracle

The Zombies "Odessey and Oracle" (1968)



The Zombies had released an album in 65 that enjoyed moderate success, but after 2 or 3 years of near constant touring they decided that the music thing wasn't really working out.  They resolved to break up after making one more album, meaning that they wouldn't need to worry about its commercial success or lack thereof.  That approach led to them make this thoroughly interesting pop album with their biggest hit to date "Time of the season".

 The guy who painted their album cover misspelt Odyssey but the band stuck with it.
