The first release will be a remastered version of "Odessey & Oracle" in early 2025, featuring classics like "Time Of The Season," "Care of Cell 44," and "This Will Be Our Year." The album will be released in its original mono mix alongside the band's documentary "Hung Up On A Dream," directed by Robert Schwartzman.

Through their new label imprint Beechwood Park Records, Q Prime will handle marketing, management, distribution, and licensing for The Zombies' catalog, including hits "She's Not There," "Tell Her No," and "I Want You Back Again."

The band's surviving founding members—Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Chris White, and Hugh Grundy—along with Paul Atkinson's widow Helen, recently acquired their catalog rights from Marquis Enterprises Ltd., their original label from 1964.

The historic recordings, including "Odessey & Oracle" which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios on a modest £1,000 budget, continue to attract new generations of fans. The deal, orchestrated by The Rocks Management and Loeb & Loeb, aims to preserve the band's independent spirit while expanding their legacy through Q Prime's global network of offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Nashville, and London.
