Their
1968 album Odessey and Oracle was ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone's
2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and number 243 on
Rolling Stone's 2020 list. The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
In 1967, frustrated by their continuing
lack of success, the Zombies left Decca and signed a recording contract
with CBS Records for whom they recorded the album Odessey and Oracle at
EMI's world-famous Abbey Road studios.
The band's budget did not
stretch to session musicians, so they used a Mellotron to fill out their
arrangements. According to Argent, they used John Lennon's Mellotron,
which had been left in the studio after the Beatles' sessions for Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The album was mixed into the standard
mono; however, as another concession toward their limited budget, Argent
and White (who, due to their songwriting royalties, had earned more
than the rest of the members) personally paid for stereo mixes.
The
change in direction was evident on their first single released by CBS,
"Care of Cell 44", a song about the anticipation felt while waiting for
the singer's partner to be released from prison. It is also notable that
the title of the song does not appear anywhere in the lyrics.
Unfortunately, like their previous Decca releases, it failed to reach
the charts. A second CBS single, "Friends of Mine", was also
unsuccessful.
