With any popular group, there will be many budget-priced compilations called GREATEST HITS, but as with all releases on the excellent reissue label DCC Compact Classics, this Zombies collection is no rip-off. Featuring carefully-remastered sound, the best available versions of the songs, and attractive packaging with informative liner notes, The Zombies’ GREATEST HITS is an excellent introduction to this influential jazz-inflected pop quintet from St. Albans, England. Opening with their staggering debut single “She’s Not There”–one of the finest records made in the ’60s, with an unparalleled electric piano solo by Rod Argent underpinning Colin Blunstone’s trademark breathy vocals–and closing 15 perfect songs later with the ultra-atmospheric psychedelic classic “Time of the Season,” GREATEST HITS covers the breadth of the Zombies’ relatively short but remarkably fruitful three-and-a-half year career.

The Zombies: Colin Blunstone (vocals); Paul Atkinson (guitar); Rod Argent (electric piano, organ); Chris White (bass); Hugh Grundy (drums).
Compilation producer: Steve Hoffman.
Recorded between 1964 and 1967. Includes liner notes by Ellis Widner and Steve Hoffman.
