Welcome to the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, hosted by Scott Dudelson. In this episode, Scott sits down with the legendary Colin Blunstone, co-founder and lead singer of The Zombies, to discuss his incredible life and career. 

On a previous podcast episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl with my guest, Zombies co-founder Rod Argent, we discussed the early days of The Zombies up through the recording of their masterpiece "Odessey and Oracle."  In this chat with Colin Blunstone we start off discussing the recording of "Odessey and Oracle" and work our way through the band's break up after the completion of that album and Colin's short journey outside the music industry. 

Another focus of this chat is Colin's excellent solo output in the early 1970's and we dive deep into the albums "One Year" and "Ennismore" as well as Colin's work with Alan Parsons Project. 

Colin also opens up about Rod Argent's 2024 health scare and the impact on the band's future, the intriguing saga of the fake Zombies in the late 60's that featured members of ZZ Top, and his latest EP, "Less Is More." Don't miss this insightful conversation with a true music legend.
