Steve Ellis
A: Loot's The Root MP3
B: The Undertaker Song MP3
Limited edition of 800 individually numbered copies
Our latest single reissue features two perennial Mod dancefloor favourites taken from the super-rare UK-only Loot soundtrack album. Showcasing the vocal talents of Steve Ellis (of Sixties pop sensation 'The Love Affair') alongside the inspired, funky arrangements of legendary British producer Keith Mansfield, this single features the cream of the UK's session musicians - drummer Clem Cattini, bassist Herbie Flowers, singers Madeline Bell and Doris Troy and the one and only Big Jim Sullivan on guitar! The impossible-to-find original CBS Loot's The Root single now commands serious money and this is the first time that club favourite The Undertaker Song (with organist Alan Hawkshaw) has ever been released on 45!

| Side A, 'Loot's The Root', is funky 60s pop at its best. A sardonic, cheeky vocal by Steve Ellis is driven by a killer rhythm section comprising the best in UK session talent. A staple dancefloor track on the Mod circuit, this number is a fine example of the best in upbeat, brassy pop with that quality British jazzy edge courtesy of the best arranger in the business. |
| Side B, 'The Undertaker Song' has long been a London leftfield club classic. Powered by driving percussion and flailing horns, Alan Hawkshaw turns up the pressure to deliver a monstrous three minute Mod banger with plenty of sampler appeal. |
