Guitarist Pierre Fanen, guitarist-composer Michel Bonnecarrère, reedist Michel Ripoche (violin, tenor saxophone, trombone), trumpeter Tony Canal, keyboardist André Hervé, and drummer Christian Devaux completed the early lineup. Daydé had passed through Polaris, Les Safaris, Les Tombes, and Les Balthus before La Question, the group name used before Zoo. Fanen, Ripoche, and Canal entered the lineup from the studio circuit. Daydé, Carlet, and Hervé had worked as Club Med activity leaders before the group began early dates under the Question name in Paris and Switzerland. Zoo entered the studio on April 16, 1969, and the nine-piece lineup completed eight titles over two days. The musicians left the session with the Zoo name.
