Although See For Miles' "Singles As and Bs" collection is much more well known than this disc (and, truth be told, probably has a better song selection) this is the better disc BY FAR. Singles As and Bs had some VERY questionable sound-quality on certain songs (She's Coming Home especially, but also She's Not There, Leave Me Be). This release contains many of the same tracks, but they sound MUCH better! Additionally, for those who are unaware, the Big Beat ZOMBIES releases haven't made this disc obselete at all; this comp is mostly stereo mixes, and even the one lone RIP song (She Loves the Way) is presented in an alternate mono mix from the Big Beat stuff. So enjoy!
This is the Zombies album that you want. This French label has mined the best album tracks from their early EPs, much the same as they did with The Hollies. The result is an album full of the breathless vocals of Colin Blunstone and the keyboard work of Rod Argent that you expect, and then some. Almost every track here is strong and is so much better a collection than the "Singles A&B." I play 60s music on the radio and of the 26 tracks on this CD, I have marked 23 of them to play. Songs like "I Must Move," "Whenever You're Ready." and "I Love You," shimmer with Zombie magic. Highly recommend.
