Liner notes
The first single from Britannia Shing-A-Ling. Sunlightsquare took the Chris Kenner song that Wilson Pickett made a 1966 hit and recorded it live at Miloco Studios with the album's 25-strong line-up: latin percussion, keys, brass stabs, backing vocals and a trumpet solo. Brendan Reilly, known for his work with Basement Jaxx, sings lead. It arrived in spring 2011 as a 7-inch, SUN7003, with the instrumental on the flip, alongside a digital single that adds a Percussion Mix. A promo CD in a plastic wallet went out to DJs. The 7-inch has since sold out.
