R.I.P.

Backdated, archival post

[link to original on tumblr]

---&---

About two weeks ago, I happened to look at the track-listing for the Zombies' R.I.P. album (which - as I understand - was supposed to be released after "Time of the Season" became a hit, but wasn't [the Zombie Heaven liner notes claim that "the advent of Argent probably stopped its release"]).  Apparently, it actually was released a few years ago, and it follows the original slated track listing, which is:
  1. "She Loves the Way They Love Her"
  2. "Imagine the Swan"
  3. "Smokey Day"
  4. "Girl Help Me"
  5. "I Could Spend the Day"
  6. "Conversation off Floral Street"
  7. "If It Don't Work Out"
  8. "I'll Call You Mine"
  9. "I'll Keep Trying"
  10. "I Know She Will"
  11. "Don't Cry for Me"
  12. "Walking in the Sun"
When I lookt at this, I realized that the two songs included here that Colin Blunstone recorded for One Year have the same track numbers in that sequencing.  That is: on One Year, "She Loves the Way They Love Her" is track #1, and "Smokey Day" is track #3.  I'm suspicious that this indicates that the sequencing of both albums was done by the same person or people.
