Colin Blunstone is an English singer, songwriter, and musician. Born on June 24, 1945 in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK, he began his musical journey as a founding member and vocalist of the band The Zombies while still in school in April 1962. After the band disbanded in 1968, Colin briefly pursued a career in insurance before reigniting his passion for music with several successful singles in 1969. In 1971, he released his debut solo album "One Year," which was co-produced and partly co-written by *Rod Argent*, the co-founder of The Zombies. Rod had achieved significant success with his progressive rock band *Argent* at that time.

Throughout his career, Colin Blunstone has been associated with various artists who share similar musical styles and sensibilities. Some notable names include *Emitt Rhodes*, *The Millennium*, *The Left Banke*, *The Move*, *Sagittarius*, *Judee Sill*, *The Walker Brothers*, *Harpers Bizarre*, *Brian Wilson*, *Dennis Wilson*, *Van Dyke Parks*, *The Cyrkle*, *Gene Clark*, *Honeybus*, Michael Nesmith,*Todd Rundgren,* Roy Wood,* The Zombies,*and* Tim Hardin.*

Sundazed is a US record label founded by Bob Irwin in 1988. They specialize in vinyl reissues of classic albums from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. With all graphic design and mastering work done in-house, Sundazed ensures high-quality releases at affordable prices for customers.

Over the years, Sundazed has collaborated with various cutting and pressing facilities to bring their releases to life. From the early 2000s until the mid-2010s, they worked with renowned engineers such as Greg Calbi and Warren Barnett for cutting records. In recent years, they have partnered with Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio for primary manufacturing.

When it comes to pressing their vinyl records, Sundazed has utilized different facilities depending on the era. From the late 1990s to mid-2000s, they often worked with Stick '1' at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI). In later years, Rainbo Records and Quality Record Pressings were among their trusted partners. Currently, TMP (The Mastering Plant) handles their pressing needs.

Colin Blunstone and Sundazed Music celebrate the 50th anniversary of Colin's post Oracle opus One Year with a double LP expanded edition! The second LP, itself titled, That Same Year, gives you a deeper introspective look into that time in his life. The album largely features Colin singing accompanied solely by his acoustic guitar. That Same Year includes beautifully sparse demo versions of three songs from One Year including 'Caroline Goodbye' and 'Let Me Come Closer To You' where Colin is joined by fellow Zombie Rod Agent on piano. Three songs have Colin joined by Zombie bassist Chris White on classical guitar. Beyond the three familiar songs you will find Colin's familiar voice and wit come through on eleven completely unheard compositions all penned for the One Year album; including 'Sing Your Own Song' where sings of reading about his own death in Rolling Stone. One Year is an album that somehow manages to be both lush and sparse at the same time and always deeply intimate. That Same Year finds a way to bring your listening experience to a deeper level of intimacy. In addition to penning most of the album, Colin also penned the liner notes that fill the gatefold jacket along with unseen photos from that year. The notes go track by track through One Year along with some background on That Same Year.
