Remembered chiefly as proto-punkers who reached the top of the charts with the caveman rock of Wild Thing (1966), the Troggs were also adept at crafting power pop and ballads. Hearkening back to a somewhat simpler, more basic British Invasion approach as psychedelia began to explode in the late '60s, the group also reached the Top Five with their flower-power ballad Love Is All Around. While more popular in their native England than the U.S., the band also fashioned memorable, insistently riffing hit singles like With a Girl Like You, and the notoriously salacious I Can't Control Myself.
Available for the first time on CD, this album includes unique live in the studio recordings of many of the Troggs finest moments on wax.
