It's the End: The Definitive Collection is a compilation album by the American garage rock band the Zakary Thaks, and was released on Big Beat Records on January 26, 2015 (see 2015 in music).

Contents

Although the Zakary Thaks' material has become better circulated prior to the album's release through similar means, It's the End marks the first time all the master recordings of the band's six singles were correctly featured on one album. The tracks previously unavailable include alternate versions of "Can You Hear Your Daddy’s Footsteps" "Please" and "Mirror of Yesterday". Songs "People Sec. VI" and "Gotta Make My Heart Turn Away" were recorded during Taylor's project Michael, and re-released for the first time with the album.

The tracks on It's the End originate from the J-Beck, Mercury, Thak, and C-Bee record labels. It spans across the Zakary Thaks entire recording career, from their beginnings in 1966 to their experimentation with psychedelia just before their disbandment in 1969.
