Release 1997 with 68 page booklet
For me one of the very best 60s groups which nearly overlooked in her time.
Their only Top 20 success in 1964 was SHE's NOT THERE with beautiful organ and vocal melodies
(Live in 64 sounds not unlike The Doors ), the song was covered by SANTANA.
They only released 2 albums in UK and 3 albums in USA inbetween 1964 to 1968:
So this normaly 2nd LP was a marvelous melodic psychedelic album with dreamy vocals..no song was a miss.
But no success saleswise so the group called it a day, Blunstone went solo, Rod Argent formed ARGENT.
Posthum one song from the album (TIME OF THE SEASON) was played at the USA Radio Stations
and went to number 3 in the US Charts, but it was too late for the band.
In the last years an mix out of members from ARGENT & ZOMBIES is on the road again.
