The Beatles famously paved the way for the British Invasion of America after their success in 1964. One of the bands that followed in their wake was The Zombies.
Although they hit in the UK too, America has always been the place they did best, and they are still thought of more highly there to this day.
Chris White was the bassist and, with Rod Argent, wrote all the band's material, including This Will be Our Year, taken from the classic psychedelic pop album, Odysey and Oracle.
Recently, Chris and singer, Colin Blunstone, came to Without the Beatles' hometown of Hackney in East London to launch a newly remixed mono version of that classic album. Earlier this year, the band also celebrated the release of the first documentary about the Zombies, Hung Up on a Dream.
What better time to reflect on their early American success - and what part the Beatles played in their story.
Richard Merrett and Des Burkinshaw are your hosts.
