Synopsis
In 1964, an unknown band hit number 2 in the US charts with "She’s Not There". Surviving gruelling package tours, they were soon at the vanguard of the British invasion that stormed America. Novelist and musician Claes Johansen follows them from suburban beginnings on an adventure through a pop industry in its infancy. In 1967, before going their separate ways, the Zombies recorded their swansong, Odessey and Oracle. When Al Kooper championed its posthumous release in the States, this classic LP started to undergo a series of re-evaluations. (It recently featured amongst Mojo magazine’s best 100 LPs of all time). Here, this timeless masterpiece is fully explored.

From the Publisher
Chris White, founder member of The Zombies had this to say about the book:
"It was a great pleasure to read Claes Johansen's book The Zombies - Hung Up On A Dream. Firstly it read like a novel - something rare in the field of pop biography. This different approach made it as irrepressible as the Harry Potter books are, in style and interest. Secondly, Claes takes a very specialised, personal viewpoint in his examination of the songs in the Zombies short, but lasting career. This personal analysis is quite fascinating because it even made me go back and listen to the songs again just to see how they appear to another musician's 'eye' and ear. It is also humbling and gratifying to read about our influence on other artists and writers, people for whom I have the greatest respect and admiration. In short, I've read it through three times now and still find his viewpoint refreshing and irritatingly accurate."
