Description
Rootes Group Service – 48 Thrills – 7 Inch Yellow Vinyl Record
48 Thrills is a 7-inch vinyl single released in 1997 by the American band Rootes Group Service. Issued on Square Target Records (catalog number ST7010), the record is notable for its transparent yellow vinyl pressing, which adds a distinctive visual appeal to its physical presentation. The single features two tracks: “48 Thrills” on the A-side and “Theme from Rootes Group Service” on the B-side. The band’s musical style blends elements of punk and mod, reflecting a raw, energetic sound that pays homage to the garage rock and punk scenes of the late 20th century.
The band’s name appears to be a nod to the British automotive manufacturer Rootes Group, known for brands like Hillman and Sunbeam. This reference, combined with the mod influences in their music, suggests an appreciation for British culture and aesthetics.
The single was distributed in the United States and has become a collectible item among vinyl enthusiasts and fans of underground punk and mod revival music.
