Description



The Zombies "Odessey & Oracle" on Date 4013 from 1968. The cover is clean with no seam splits, holes, writing, creases ect. The record is in M- condition with a very lite and harmless hairline scuff that DNAP and sounds great. The labels are clean with zero spindle wear. This is the 1st press cover without the promo box that promotes "Time Of The Season". Also this is not a cutout cover. (4) complete corners. Very hard to find!
 NOTES:               In 2003, Rolling Stone placed Odessey in 80th place on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time              Odessey consistently ranks in the top 50 on the constantly changing Rate Your Music greatest ever albums list.              Stylus magazine selected it as the 196th on their 200 Favorite Albums List.

  •         The Guardian placed it 77th on their Top 100 Albums That Don’t Appear In All The Other Top 100 Albums Of All Time
  •         Mojo magazine named it the 97th greatest album ever made.
  •         It placed 32nd on NME's list and 51st on Q magazine's list of the greatest British albums ever.

All records are visually and play graded. Pay Pal and other payment methods will be accepted. Buyer to add $6.75 shipping ($3.50 for Media Mail). I will combine shipping on multiple wins. ATTENTION ALL INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: PLEASE READ: If using Pay Pal winning bidders will have their item sent Priority Mail International ($32.00 total) if the total is over $50.00. This has to be done for tracking purposes and is both for the buyer's and seller's protection. ** NO EXCEPTIONS **. Too many "Item Not Received" filings and a lot of sellers are getting hit with charge backs. I regret that I have to resort to this new international shipping policy but as a seller I have no choice. I must protect my product from the small % of disreputable buyers and corrupt customs/postal services ect. If you do not agree to these terms then please do not bid.  

No negative Feedback or private FB Bidders. Those bids will be cancelled. 

Thanks.

More notes: The Zombies broke up two weeks after they completed Odessey and Oracle, in December 1967, and the album wasn't released in the U.S. until 1969, after Al Kooper had heard a British pressing and lobbied his label, CBS, to release it here. But its baroque psychedelic arrangements continue to exert a powerful influence — Beck and Fountains of Wayne each cover its songs live. Recorded in London at both Abbey Road and a Stones haunt, Olympic Studios, Odessey combined the adventure of Sgt. Pepper with the concision of British Invasion pop. "Time of the Season" went on to become a Number Three hit.
