The Zombies - Walking in the Sun (Rare, better version)

This song, that is somewhat unheard of, was made by The Zombies back in the 1960s. I first heard it when a user called "1960suploader" put it on YouTube, but his account no longer exists. Since then, I've spent ages trying to find this fantastic version of the song. This is the rarer version, that sounds a lot better than all the other recordings. It just generally has a more powerful sound to it, as well as strings added.

The Zombies are a very underrated band! Go check them out! I simply love this song, and think it's better than their hit "She's Not There". I always take a nice, long trip down into memory lane when I hear this song, thinking of times when I (removed), as well as inspiring me to write some music... Which I'm currently recording and will release next year.

Nonetheless, enjoy the song! :)

The Best band of the 60s

@johnj623

I wouldn't go as far as saying The Zombies are the best band of the 60s. There were much better bands such as Pink Floyd.

This version is definitely better than the original, which had way too much reverb on Colin's vocals... Have you heard the version with the same vocals as this one, but completely orchestral instrumentation?

[Darbyjack]

I don't think I have, where can I find it?

@johnj623 i wouldnt say that. Remember such bands as Buffalo Springfield, Creedance Clearwater Revival, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Jimmi Hendrix, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and so on.

The Zombies WERE the best group of the 60s. No one can tell me different... The sound, the feel will never be reduplicated.

when I listen to contemporary rock and roll it all sounds so derivative...after all , my generation grew up with the real thing, the originators, bands like the Zombies and Kinks and Byrds and Beatles and Stones and Animals....everything today sounds like a copy of what went before....sort of embarrassing to hear

[charliedontsurf70]

too bad floyd based their entire career on an iron butterfly song called' belda beast"

@Darbyjack Pink Floyd? They had a few cool tracks, but overall they loved wallowing in their own pretense (which really was a faux version of what Syd Barrett was doing pre "Dark Side.")
