Zombie Heaven

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
When this 4 CD, 119-song collection appeared, there were those who doubted anyone would want so much music by a group that only had three hits ("She's Not There," "Tell Her No," and "Time of the Season"). Defying the naysayers, Zombie Heaven inspired renewed Zombie mania among pop cognoscenti. With its beautiful cover, fascinating book, and every recording the group ever made, it truly is Zombie heaven. Unlike most artists of their era whose album cuts were far inferior to their singles, Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, and company had, if anything, too much talent. From the baroque beauty of "Care of Cell 44," to the wistful pop soul of "If It Don't Work Out," and the driving "Indication," this is a treasure for all fans of pure pop. --Dawn Eden

5 out of 5 stars A Little Slice of Heaven.......2007-07-19

Perfect for feeding a Zombies jones. Making an air-tight case for the Zombies, with signature minor key changes and gossamer harmonies, as one of the best bands of the 60's. And Odessey & Oracle as a worthy peer of Pet Sounds, Forever Changes, the Doors eponymous debut, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

The St Alban's schoolboys made music that manages haunting, wistful, and joyous all in the same breathy vocals of Colin Blunstone and in Rod Argent and Chris White's tunes and arrangments. Any band that can rehab Little Anthony & the Imperials merits automatic elevation into the pantheon.

Though this is heresy to Zombie fans, I'd still recommend tracking down the Odessey & Oracle anniversary set for the stereo mixes.

And if you can't get enough Zombies (and indeed who can?) check out Big Beat's companion piece: Into the Afterlife.

5 out of 5 stars Expensive, but well worth it........2007-01-07

I recently upgraded to Zombie Heaven from the greatest hits compilation Absolutely The Best. I just wanted to drop in and say that the upgrade was well worth it. Zombie Heaven is probably the most lovingly created boxed set I've ever seen. The music sounds fantastic and the vast majority of everything the Zombies ever thought about recording is here. The liner notes are the best I've ever read. They're very informative and complete and feature a lot of wonderful pictures I'd never seen before.

If you're just interested in the 3 hits, then you'll probably be better served by a greatest hits compilation. If, however, you want to dig in a bit further, then Zombie Heaven is definitely the way to go. For a band with only 3 hits, the Zombies had an incredibly rich and deep discography that is beautifully presented here. Zombie Heaven is expensive, but well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars If only I could rate this 6 stars.......2006-11-29

Why did I put off buying this gem for so long? I'll tell you. The price. I always loved the Zombies, Argent, Colin's solo works, and I still have the vinyl recordings. When I first saw this, my super-ego kicked in, and for a while my id was in deep pain. Why is it so expensive? Well, I found out the answer. It's worth it. Imagine clean sound, great stereo mixes where available, unearthed BBC recordings, brilliant liner notes. This is the real deal. Plus you realize that this was a band for the ages. Worth every penny. Come on, you're worth it, too.

5 out of 5 stars All their hits on Heaven ? Careful !.......2005-08-14

When you like me were introduced to The Zombies by the dvd Live at Bloomsbury theatre and Andorra and I want to fly are in your all time Zombies top 10, you will be dissapointed to not find them on this magnificent compilation of Zombies hits called Heaven.
Andorra and i want to fly are songs written later than the periode covered by Heaven. So be sure to not only buy Heaven but also a copy of their concert in Bloomsbury. That way you really have it all ! The Zombies for me are one of the most underrated bands in the history of music. They should have been right up there with all the big names, but due to hard luck i guess and maybe their name (?) they were not. They will be performing in The Netherlands and i will be there ! I am sure it's gonna be one of the best concerts i have ever seen with Colin Blunstone (magnificent voice) and keyboardwizard Rod Argent and the other guys on stage.

5 out of 5 stars TIME OF THE ZOMBIES.......2005-01-22

A boxed set from a bunch of guys who only had 3 or 4 hit records at best? What could be on it? PUUULLLENTY. And is it any good? YOU BETCHA! 119 numbers from a 4 year period. These guys were PROLIFIC and just about the most hard lucked band of the Briish Invasion. Trouble with their work permits kept them from capitalizing on their fame here, when they hit right out of the box with SHE'S NOT THERE. Bad luck, bad management, trouble with unions did not stop these guys from plugging away. This set is like finding a treasure trove of GOOD British Invasion records you never heard before. Rave-ups, eerie introspective numbers (way before they were in vogue), and just plain wonderful pop songs permeate this fantastic sounding 4 disc set. That's info for the uninitiated. For those in the know, there's mono and rare stereo versions, overdubbed and pre-overdubbed versions, studio chatter and rehearsals, live at the BBC recordings, a massive 65 page booklet that goes through the band's history and track by track breakdown and commentary from the guys, a ton of photos, and just about everything this group ever recorded. Very,very few clunkers. Despite two timeless #1 hits (at the begining and end of their career) the Zombies need to be re-evaluated as one the top groups of the British Invasion. And this set is the proof.
