Zingo was formed in Vancouver, Canada in the early 70's by three friends; Vince Nardulli, Dave Skinner, and Frank Dato, who grew up and played together through their high school years. After adding Keith Scott on guitar (who went on to record & tour with Bryan Adams to this day) and Joe Alvaro on bass, the third version of Zingo became the notable lineup that recorded songs that ultimately became the album released here. The group played hundreds of nights per year in Vancouver clubs on the same circuit as acts such as BTO and Heart. The band then started writing, performing and recording original material which led to arena shows with international recording artists such as The Beach Boys, John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat, and Brownsville Station. This caught the attention of John Schroeder, producer of Status Quo, who signed Zingo to a single record deal in the UK with Harbour Records, recorded at the world famous Little Mountain Studios. The 4th version of Zingo added Michael Skinner on flute and saxophone. The Zingo lineup were known to be dynamic performers who loved to rock on stage but also were accomplished funk and jazz fusion players, experimenting in many different styles. This blend of showmanship and musicianship combined with well-crafted songs made them a very popular band, remembered to this day by Vancouver fans and now released to a worldwide audience that has shown great interest in this very unique and talented group. After a Bryan Adams concert in 2010, Keith Scott (Bryan's guitar player) was asked what had happened to all the recordings Zingo had done in the 70's before he joined Adams. He hadn't a clue, nor did David Skinner, co-founder of the band & the other main songwriter. An archival search of every possible tape vault and engineer/producers ensued & what we have is the record assembled here. Some of the songs were remixed after multitracks were found, some from 1/4" mixes, some from vinyl and some even from cassettes. That explains the varying quality. Vince Nardulli (the lead singer & great front man) passed away before his time in 1989 & 2 new songs were added, Love Of a Dream & Backstabber sang by Keith & Dave respectively.
