"Goin' out of My Head"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

According to the liner notes for both Zombie Heaven and The Decca Stereo Anthology, fifty years ago to-day (23 October 1966), the Zombies recorded "Goin' out of My Head" - the last song they recorded while at Decca.  (The Decca Stereo Anthology also notes that "orchestral overdubs on 'Goin' out of My Head' [were] probably recorded at a later date.")

Unlike most of the Zombies' Decca-era recordings, this wasn't at Studio No. 2 in Decca West Hampstead.  Zombie Heaven says just "Kingsway," but The Decca Stereo Anthology is more specific, citing "De Lane Lea, Portland Place."
