Zoot – ‘You’d Better Get Going Now’ Review
Review by: Ed Nimmervoll
Zoot – Better Get Goin’ Now
A You’d Better Get Goin’ 2:08
B Three Jolly Little Dwarfs 2:13
Ted Higgins (Zoot Drummer): “We realised we had to live in Melbourne. How to launch Zoot was planned. They wanted something different, and wanted a single ready. So we caught a train over to Melbourne on the Friday night, with all our equipment. We were booked in Armstrong’s Studios at eleven o’clock the next morning… We hadn’t even picked out a single. When we got to Melbourne, virtually at nine o’clock, we went to Wayne DeGruchy’s place and he said “Here’s five singles, pick one out, you’re going to do one of those. We pressed it in virtually one day and then came back to Adelaide on the Sunday. The song was You’d better Get Goin’ and the B side, incredibly was called Three Jolly Little Dwarves.”
