In the autumn of 1965, the Zipps were formed in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. Peter Nuyten (guitar) and John Noce Santoro (drums) came from the guitar group, The Moving Strings.
Philip Elzerman (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Jan Bek (vocals) came from the skiffle group Beat Town Skifflers, while Theo Verschoor (bass) came from The Twilights.
Singer Jan Bek quit before the first single ("Roll The Cotton Down" / "Highway Gambler") was released on the Op-Art label in February 1966.
Because of their psychedelic sound and Zeta-light-show, The Zipps became known as the 'Dutch Pink Floyd'.
In interviews, Philip Elzerman openly advocated the use of illicit drugs, particularly marijuana and LSD-25. One of their most popular live numbers, in fact, was titled "LSD-25", though, unfortunately, it was never released as a single. During concerts, purple stickers with the phrase "Be Stoned! Dig: Zipps Psychedelic Sound" were handed out to fans.
