To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the recording of their classic Odessey and Oracle album, The Zombies have assembled an eclectic collection of rare and unseen photos, original artwork and personal memories that offer readers an intimate snapshot of one of the more influential bands to emerge from the UK music scene of the 1960s.

Renowned artist Terry Quirk, who created the look of Odessey and Oracle, designed the book’s cover and contributed new artwork throughout, while Vivienne Boucherat created a unique piece of art to accompany each of the 22 songs. Each selection is accompanied by a running oral history by original band members Rod Argent, Colin Blunstone, Chris White, and Hugh Grundy. Additionally, The "Odessey" is rich with reflections from music journalists, friends, and fans, including Tom Petty, who wrote the Foreword, Brian Wilson, Nate Ruess of FUN, Clive Davis, Patti LaBelle, Carlos Santana Carlos, Susanna Hoffs, Paul Weller, Beach House, Graham Nash, Clive Davis, and members of Cage the Elephant.
