The Loot also had several connections with the Troggs; bandmember Dave Wright was one of the original members of that band, and “Baby Come Closer”, from their first single, was later recorded by the Troggs. Also, their label, Page One Records was owned by Troggs manager Larry Page; and Ronnie Bond, the drummer for the Troggs produced many of the songs by the Loot. Besides Dave Glover and Roger Pope of the Soul Agents, other bandmembers in the Loot were Chris Bates (vocals) and Bruce Turner (lead guitar). The band released six singles between 1966 and 1969.
