Ja, Zoo is a Hide album released on November 21, 1998. It was the first full-length record to be released under the Hide with Spread Beaver handle, after Hide had retitled his solo project to formally include his previous live band. It was completed without him, due to his death in May 1998.

His ultimate level of involvement in the finished product is not clear, Zilch bassist Paul Raven stating in an interview shortly after the tragedy: "He was under a lot of pressure to finish his solo record. He had three songs completed the day before he died, and now mysteriously a full album is coming out nine days before ours."^[1] The release of Ja, Zoo would eventually be postponed until November 1998; the Zilch debut album, 3.2.1., was released on July 23, 1998.
