[2016-10-28] Zager And Evans "In The Year 2525: The RCA Masters 1969-1970" (Tune In/Cherry Red UK)

Description
ZAGER & EVANS was the duo of US folk-rockers Denny Zager and Rick Evans.

They are fondly remembered for their classic 1969 single, ‘In The Year 2525’, a prophetic forewarning of technology taking over humanity in centuries to come.

‘In The Year 2525’ was No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic in July 1969, in the aftermath of the hit movies Planet Of The Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey — and as all things futuristic were in the news as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

The single is one of the best-loved in pop history, having been covered more than 60 times in seven different languages.

This 24-track CD features 2525 (Exordium And Terminus), the US hit LP that spawned the single, and its follow-up Zager & Evans, released in 1969 and 1970, respectively.

Also featured are four non-LP bonus tracks, including the ‘censored’ version of the duo’s controversial follow-up single ‘Mr. Turnkey’.

In The Year 2525 includes a detailed interview with songwriter Rick Evans.

It's not listed in America yet, but this is a British release so it will be an import when it appears at Amazon USA, most likely scheduled one week after it comes out in the UK.
