The Zoo was a 1960s psychedelic rock band based in Los Angeles, California. It consisted of guitarist Murphy "Chocolate Moose" Carfagna, drummer Mike Flicker, bassist Terry Gottlieb, guitarist Howard Leese, and vocalist Ira Welsley.[1] They were one of the youngest groups ever signed to a major label during the 1960s.[2]

They released several singles and one album before disbanding. Bell Records (which later became Arista Records) gave them a contract in 1968. Their début album was a 10 track vinyl LP originally published in Canada and the USA by Sunburst Records in 1968. Their début album was reissued several times; in 1993 by Ace Records, in 2001 by Big Beat Records and in 2007 by Radioactive Records.[3]
