Comments 30th Anniversary Edition

"Be not afraid;
The isle is full of noises
Sound, and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twanging instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices"
(Shakespeare)

Lacquers cut directly from original analogue tapes at Whitfield Street.

"We have used the mono version of 'This Will Be Our Year' for this anniversary edition, rather than using the fake stereo that was used on the original Stereo LP CBS LP S63280. All the other recordings were made in stereo."

Info on "This Will Be Our Year" One major problem arose when it came time to mix "This Will Be Our Year" into stereo. The Zombies' original producer Ken Jones, had dubbed live horn parts directly onto the mono mix. With the horns not having been recorded on the multi-track beforehand, a faked stereo mix had to be made of the mono master.
