does anyone on this board know if its possible to purchase an affordable copy of ANY zoot LPs??

they're like $70-300 on ebay or discogs....wowzers....

i don tknow much about the band history, but are their pressings that rare??

Try looking for Masters apprentices original albums.... up to 300-500 for a mint copy

I saw a Zoot album recently (can't remember where though) that was around a 50...

You in syd or melbourne?

Ps I go to a lot of record stores so I'll keep a eye out for you

im sydney....i dont even mind if its a cd, original master...not remaster...
but it doesnt seem they ever had LPs on cd at all if discogs is trustworthy...

I've seen a CD best of, but a long time ago...

There are a couple of shops of parramatta road, a good one in newtown and the ghost of ashwoods in erskinville.

I'll keep an eye though...

Zoots version of eleanor rigby stands the test of time imho

that's actually where i heaed of them....that tone is seriously ahead of its time...and they're so musically tight...melodies, etc etc....seriously good sh*t!

Damn,you guys are making me want to play my 45 of Zoot's cover of ER

you needed a forum post to realise this? hahaha

I think Zoot's cover and Doug Parkinson's cover of Dear Prudence are brilliant interpretations, Zoot added a definitive dimension to ER, DP on the other hand added an emotive context to Prudence that IMNSHO was missing from the original.

I've forgotten more songs that I remember but Barnsey's cover of The Weight ain't too bad either, although the original carried much more raw emotion as did much of The Band's early material.

I own a great Glenn A Baker comp CD of The Zoot, called "Zoot Locker" on EMI, re-released 1995.
Brilliant band.
Molly produced one of their singles.
