Zoot Out LP 1971 Rick Springfield

Australian-pressed “best-of” compilation Columbia SOEX 9842 released in 1971 on green budget label.

Masters of pretty decent mainstream pre-Sgt. Peppers Australian pop. Zoot are primarily known these days for their lead guitarist, Rick Springfield. Before he became a teen idol, Springfield fronted this group, who while never making it much bigger than their home base of Australia, still made quite an impact. Sounding something like a combination of early Bee Gees, mid-period Hollies, and maybe some Iveys (proto-Badfinger), Zoot were masters of the three minute single at a time when most practitioners were abandoning the field. One of their finer efforts here is the Jackie Lomax-written, "You Better Get Going," which is almost as catchy as anything the Bee Gees ever cut in the 1960's. ~ Matthew Greenwald, Rovi
