I love these back to mono records, even if I was very pleased with the stereo 2CD from a couple of years ago. This is how we first heard them in the middle sixties on our plastic mono grammophones. Talk about nostalgia.
In Sweden we have a saying: It was better before...
And to make a joke of that we say: The more before the better...
But this 2CD is no joke, it's fabulous to hear the genuine mono sound again.

This double set has the "Begin Here" album and the EPs and singles of their Decca days all in glorious mono. "She's Not There" was/is the big hit number but there are other treasures, particularly "Just Out of Reach" and "Remember You". Long time fans will all have their favourites. If you are interested in the early days of British Rock or Pop then this is a great place to start. The jump from this youthful exuberant collection to the classic "Odessey and Oracle" remains one of rocks more amazing achievements though the seeds of that leap can be heard here.
The band are still touring and recording - and still damn good when I saw them a few weeks ago!

Zombies - 'Begin Here' (Big Beat)
8 Jun 2006
Format:Audio CD
Total of 22 tracks from this under-appreciated and under-rated British Invasion act.I'm seeing a couple of tunes here that either I've never heard of or I just plain don't remember.Cuts like "Road Runner", the ballad "Summertime","She's Not There","Remember When I Loved Her"(I've been looking for this song for a long time,used to have it as a B-side of a 45 single),"Tell Her No","Kind Of Girl" and "Sticks And Stones".An absolute must-have.

Begin Here 1965 What a year to start
20 April 2009
Format:Audio CD
Begin Here is a great album, but not in the later sense of the word.There is no higher concept and there are too many mediocre covers of old soul songs. What you also get with this album is a youthful energy and short amazingly catchy tunes that give one the essence of the mop top.
"She's not there" and "Tell her no" are known, but "I can't make up my mind","I remember when I loved her", and "I don't want to know" are rarely heard today but very satisfying. What you are getting with all these songs is high energy, yet still melodic vocals from Mr Blunstone. These interact very well with the vagely half-witted yet strangely fitting background vocals to give a youthfull energy that was perhaps unique to baby boomers coming of age. Mr.Argent's organ playing and the great transitions keep everything hopping along. No politics or drugged out guitar solos here to spoil the fun, and fun it is.

The ZOMBIES
6 May 2009
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the one to get if you are looking for all the Zombies' hits. This German reissue of their "Greatest Hits" album renamed "Begin Here" (not to be confused with their debut album of the same name) contains a slew of bonus tracks to give you a fuller picture of what they were all about. Buy this one along with their Odyssey and Oracle album.
