Into the vault
From 1970, Zoot, two songs from their only album, Just Zoot, and a single.
- One Time, Two Times, Three Times Four
- Monty & Me. Monty was lead singer Darryl Cotton's dog.
- Eleanor Rigby. As a single, it was Zoot's most successful release. The Beatles did it differently in 1966.
Zoot's main songwriter and guitarist was Rick Springfield, who later moved to the US, had some pop hits and became well known as a TV soaps actor. And the bass player, Beeb Birtles (his real name is Gerard Bertelkamp and he was born in Amsterdam, moving with his family to Australia when he was 11), went on to start Little River River Band.
