Zips –You’re So Good To Me/ Gonna Leave The Door Wide Open –Yum Yum Records 17001 (1974 Ger)
This is Pip Whitcher and Roger Lomas (Sorrows/The Eggy/ Renegade) with Adrian Baker covering the Beach Boys’ track in a more distinctive manner than the versions by Johnnie Ricco or Design released around the same time. The Adrian Baker Beach Boys fxation and Teen angle is nicely counter-Balanced by the ballsy guitars and thudding beat. Zips also released a so-so version of Bye Bye Love on RAK with a solid rocker called Evil Hearted Woman on the B side…With the weather turning somewhat for the better expect some more Surf/Glam crossovers soon…

Apologies for the late reply, no sure about the German stuff, but the cd is apparently out this year, it includes the zips stuff plus others of Rog and Pip.
