This is NUTS!!! This cover version Zoot came up with BLEW!!! our manic teenaged minds - we turned this up to 11 on the record player, dropped the needle and my mated & I always have played it this way cos it's outrageously good in fact it's wizard genius .My idiot mates & I the king clown of clowns; we, to a man, all went completely octopus-sh*t mental-as-anything jumping & screeching like 8yr olds at the Royal bloody Easter Show - what a treat! It's the bee's knees, lizard's gizzards & the ducks nuts for sure. Chick-magnet Rick Springfield is playing the white SG guitar. I never forgot this cover sped up & rockin' hard - thanks for posting this - I sent it to ALL my old mates from the 60's & 70's and they all went totally ape-sh*t ballistic crazy!

In perspective, the Zoot was the quintessential Bubble Gum band in 1969, and when they released this it was a whole new aspect of their versatility that was a shock and a very pleasant surprise to those of us who used to see them at our high school dances like Spectra at Waverley and Ashwood High schools, Rick Springfield's old high school. All top ten bands had to play pubs and dance venues three or four days a week in those times just to make a living, even if they had hits, as the music industry was supported by a very small population in those days.

I remember Zoot playing in Eastlands Shopping Centre in Ringwood in about '70 [I think it was in the window of the record shop close to the entrance rather than the main foyer where 'guests' normally played ] and giving away free copies of this on weird floppy pink vinyl! The vinyl only lasted about 3 plays before getting worn out and by then you wanted a proper '45 that would last! Great marketing! But they went down a storm all the same! I was about 9 so it was my first 'rock concert'.....in a shopping centre in the Eastern Suburbs! Great, great memories!

Also like Penny Lane, or A Day In A Life...like some from Elvis, Tom Jones, or Petula Clark... From "Yesterday" are tousends of versions, may some reach the Orginal Level, but on top is this only orginal. May my mind is so, i get the Blue Double LP "The Beatles in early 80's with age around 15, years later as CD, may i had so often the orginal version, that there is no place for other interpretions. When it if so, than it is so. (i like also Donna Lewis..."I Could Be The One, ...I could be your europen dream..." or "Be the one" Dua Lipa, so not only older stuff music lover.

I was 12 years old when I first heard this late at night with my radio playing when I was supposed to be asleep. I thought it was better than the Beatles version then (and I love the Beatles - best group ever, bar none) and 1/2 century later I still think the same way.

This is Rick Springfield's arrangement of this famous Beatles track, as performed by Aussie band Zoot, circa 1970. Actually....this is a masterpiece arrangement for all the critics to absorb!! So see it and hear it for what it is! This version cannot be compared to the Beatles original, as it's a huge improvement!! RIP Darryl !!

This rendition could be played on radio today and I think people would believe it is new....the drummer plays like Dave Grohl and the guitar work is similar to maybe Stabbing Westward or that feel of early 90's to 2010...I love this version more than the Beatles....

I moved out of home, into the ballroom of a stately home, in Toorak Rd, West, just off St Kilda Rd, when I was 15yrs old.(Rent free, don't know how I did it) I had the ballroom, the sitting room off it, a kitchenette, & toilet. The bathroom was up the grand staircase, upstairs.,Everyone lived just down the rd, The Zoot, who, I with them in their purple bell-bottomed jumpsuits, used to go into the city, them dressed like that. Micheal Gudinski, Aust's only real blues group "Chain", Masters Apprentices, Renee Geyer, Doug Parkinson, Skyhooks, I could just drop into anyone's at 2am, or, go window shopping down Toorak Rd. Then, later, When I was about 18, used to buy from clearing sales (Antiques/old furniture), & do them up & sell them on, or keep them. Daddy Cool's drummer Gary Young's father, with Gary helping him, used to deliver all the furniture to my house way, back then. It was great. I'm glad I didn't take the little ad, in the newspaper for "room, in Brunswick, $10/week". I think I'd be well & truly cut up & in the freezer by now, going to live in a room across town, not knowing anyone. And, at least what you were taking then, you knew what was in it, unlike poor kids of today.

Back in the day nobody dared to cover a Beatles song, except perhaps Joe Cocker, but these local Aussies absolutely blew it out of the water, wonder if any of the Beatles ever heard it, they would have loved it.

Back in 1969 Zoot performed in the School Hall at Thornbury High School and it has left a lasting memory for those attending. Seen them Master Apprentices, Aztecs and many of the other bands of the time around Melbourne venues.

This sounds really interesting to me. I like this version a lot. I still prefer the Beatles to this one. This sounds like Rush and the Knack combined with maybe a little Frank Zappa influence to me. I never heard this one before. Thank you for sharing.

I knew the band personally and they re-invented this song beautifully for the era. Harmonies are Hollies style as they intended. Their musicianship and vocals have left a legacy for future musicians to admire.
