More than 50 years after they became one of the first British Invasion groups to top the U.S. singles charts with the hit "She's Not There," The Zombies are approaching the golden anniversary of their album, Odessey and Oracle, which is acknowledged as one of the classic pop albums of all time. They're continuing their remarkable 21st-century resurgence with a North American tour and the release of a lavish coffee-table book.

In 1967 five young men walked in to Abbey Road Studios - #3, tinkered with the gear that was left behind from the previous session (The Beatles' recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band), and set out to make an album their own way. Odessey and Oracle produced the group's biggest hit ("Time of the Season") and became a musical touchstone for generations to come. Fifty years later, the four surviving members are back together on stage.

The book is a volume of the lyrics of the album, as well as many of their other popular songs, handwritten by the authors. Original artwork will accompany the lyrics - from both Terry Quirk who created the iconic cover artwork for Odessey and Oracle, and Vivienne Boucherat, who created individual works for each song, inspired by the songs and Quirk's original work. The book's text will include anecdotes behind the songs and their recording, all from the original members.
