The Zombies' 1968 classic album 'Odessey and Oracle' has come in third position in a recent list of the Top Ten misspelled album of all time. The list is published four months before the band reunite to perform the album in its entirety for the very
last time in the UK this April.
Entitled "10 Horribly Misspelled Album Titles (and why we like 'em!)", the list, written by Adam K. Raymond on the blog 'Mental Floss' caught the eye of Prefix magazine's Tony Sclafani who commented, "People have been keeping lists of their favourite misspelled band names since the day the Beatles decided to substitute an "a" for an "e" in their moniker."
