In 1967, the Zombies signed to CBS Records for one final LP, only the second of their career and the first one produced as a single unit.
The resulting album, Odessey and Oracle, was one of the very first to utilize a Mellotron keyboard, as the band's budget did not allow for the hiring of session musicians.
An album track called "Time of the Season" was released as a single and later (1969) it became a huge hit when a DJ discovered it and put it in rotation.
