ARTIST: The Zombies
TITLE: "Care of Cell 44"
YEAR: 1968
"Care of Cell 44" is the opening track on The Zombies' classic album Odessey and Oracle. It's also one of my favorite tracks of theirs. It deals with the subject matter of a loved one who will soon be released from prison, and something about the way it's delivered is absolutely amazing. It's an excellent '60s pop gem, and one which thankfully seems to still get some attention today. In fact, it was brought to mind because I heard it played over the system while I was waiting for a concert to begin.
Here it here. It is available on CD reissues of Odessey and Oracle as well as such collections as Zombie Heaven and The Singles A's and B's.
