"Care of Cell 44" and "Brief Candles"

According to the liner notes of both Zombie Heaven and the 50th anniversary edition of Odessey and Oracle, fifty years ago to-day (16 August 1967), the Zombies recorded "Care of Cell 44" and "Brief Candles."  The Zombie Heaven liner notes are a bit more detailed, specifying that "Care of Cell 44" had the working title "Prison Song" and that recording for the two songs also took place the following day (17 August).

Although I can't seem to find it again (maybe I just imagined it), I vaguely recall an interview in which Chris White said that the Zombies recorded the backing tracks for some of the Odessey and Oracle songs on one day and the vocal tracks on the next.  I'm assuming that's the case here: the backing tracks were recorded on 16 August and the vocal tracks on 17 August.

"This Will Be Our Year"

According to the Zombie Heaven liner notes, fifty years ago to-day (15 August 1967), the brass overdub for "This Will Be Our Year" was recorded.

"A Man for All Reasons"

I listened to Nexus earlier, and I noticed a Biblical allusion in "A Man for All Reasons."  The last verse ends with the repeated line "Bless the man who's the man of peace."  Based on some of the other Christian imagery and references in Ballard's songs, I think this line is meant to refer to one of the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount.  In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."  The phrasing is different from the line in "A Man for All Reasons," but they do have the same general idea.

"Time of the Season"

According to the Zombie Heaven liner notes, fifty years ago this month (August 1967 is as specific as they get), the Zombies recorded "Time of the Season."
