"The Zombies formed in 1959 in St Albans, England and gained their initial reputation playing the Old Verulamians Rugby Club in that town. The group was formed whilst the members attended St Albans School and St Albans Boys’ Grammar School.
The Zombies signed to Decca and recorded their first hit, 'She’s Not There' after winning a beat-group competition sponsored by the London Evening News."

This album is ridiculous. Truly an underrated gem.
I'm surprised I didn't post this earlier, definitely an essential.
Some classic 60's rock, this one's up there with Sgt. Pepper in my opinion. Not particularly innovative music, a lot of guys had the same idea that The Zombies had around their time. However, these guys are first class musicians and they put some really great tracks on this record. Santana did a cover of their song "She's Not There" (not on this album) and he made it pretty damn popular. There's a good chance you've heard it at one time or another.
