What makes The Zombies so interesting is that they produced three oddly syncopated, jazz-infused and wonderfully different singles: "She's Not There", "Tell Her No" and the beautifully atmospheric "Time of the Season"... so good that no 60s collection is complete without them... plus two further "you really should have them" singles in "Whenever You're Ready" & "Care of Cell 44". Problem is how do you find them on the same CD. Well here's one of a couple of compilations that include all five, surrounded by several other equally distinctive tracks and a large amount of intriguing, but probably "destined to be played only a couple of times" stuff. Worth the money?... well that depends on how many of their "classics" you already own.

The casual listener should buy "Absolutely the Best" instead
9 Dec 2000
By Lowell Peterson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
It's hard to choose between "The Singles Collection" and the one disc "Absolutely the Best." TSC may be more than than a casual listener wants of this group. If you need all the forgettable B-sides here, you're a candidate for the "Zombies Heaven" box that has everything they ever did. On ATB you get three of the very best Zombies songs that are NOT on TSC: I Want You Back Again, If It Don't Work Out and Nothing's Changed. (That is, the best songs before their great "Odessey & Oracle" album - get the 30th Anniversary Edition!)

A Strange Combination
5 April 2000
By Jennifer Rothman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I feel that this update of the See For Miles version of "The Singles A's & B's" is a bit flawed. The sound is amazing in mono (where the original was issued in stereo) but the material can already be found in the 4 CD Box Set "Zombie Heaven." PLUS, the omission of the US Only Single "I Want Her Back Again/I Remember When I Loved Her" really hurts the difinitive-ness of this set. If you want the complete set of mono mixes stick with the box set...it's not as streamlined as this CD but it gives you everything you want from the Zombies. Big Beat has done a great job so far with upgrading the Zombies' catalog for the digital age and what I'd really like to see next is a singles set featuring newly remastered stereo mixes (including the US Only single).

The Cuts

The Zombies were a thoughtful group of musicians in the 60s, who upped the scale of great pop music. Though they only made a few albums and a string of singles, they have a memorable collection with the tops of their era.
If you want the collection of the best of the best, I recommend this Singles Collection. If you want everything, I recommend The Anthology. The Odyssey and the Oracle is their art piece though you can get those songs on both these collections.
"She's Not There" and "Time of the Season" were their big hits.
Also, "Tell Her No" did well. These showed their vocal and musical complexity. Other songs that have great musicality are "She's Coming Home", "I Love You", "Remember You" (featured in the Otto Preminger film "Bunny Lake is Missing"), "She Does Everything for Me", "Friends of Mine" and "I'll Call You Mine".
I also recommend "Summertime", but you will find it on Anthology.
Colin Blunstone's vocals and Rod Argent's keyboard playing are the signature factors that make their music stand out. Argent, along with guitarist Chris White wrote most of their own songs.
The Zombies, which was a poor selection of a name for them and their music, were pop at a very high level - good musicians with thinker lyrics. They weren't really Mersey Beat, but certainly British Invasion.
For further interest, several years after they broke up, Argent came out with a band with his name and they produced the Zombiesque song - "Hold Your Head Up".
