Zeta was one of Tasmania's early independent record labels, operating in Hobart during the early 1960s. It was associated with Martin King and Rentalite, which also rented Audio/Visual Equipment, whose recording facilities were based in Lansdowne Crescent, West Hobart. Martin King was an Integral part of Hobart's emerging popular-music scene at the time, including dances held at the San Carlo Hall and the Z Club. Zeta recorded a number of local singers and groups from this era, particularly artists connected with Kings dance venues.

| PRS 1162 | Alan Chong / Hilry Dixon | Blue, Blue Baby / When Will It Be | One enterprising batch of Art School students broke new ground by actually making a record. “The Group” teamed David Voigt, Janice Minchin, Dave Clark, Chris Fahlberg and Hilary Dixon with Alan Chong (a guitarist, then doing an Architecture degree at the university). The “A” side of the resultant 45 was ‘When Will it Be’, a folky anthem penned by Chong (“a whimsical, lyrical, questioning type of song” recalls Voigt); Dixon’s plaintive vocal bore a passing resemblance to the young Marianne Faithfull. (The “B” side of the single was an unabashed pop song called ‘Blue Blue Baby’). | |
