	The Troggs - Nostalgia Central
		The Troggs clearly were a business-like bunch of rockers who eschewed the apparent apparent build-up of progressive music in the pop business.
		With The Troggs it wasn't a matter of the songs they sang being all that sexy - it was the way they sang and played them.
		The Troggs old, sexy singles were being played over and over again on radio stations, injecting a bit of old-fashioned fire into what was in danger of becoming a staid rock scene.

	The Troggs Tapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		'The Troggs Tapes' is an infamous compilation of studio chat said to have inspired the Spinal Tap rockumentary.
		The Trogg Tapes album released by Penny Farthing was unconnected with the earlier bootleg but capitalised on the name because of its notoriety.
		Rock's Wild Things - The Troggs Files by Alan Clayson and Jacqueline Ryan published in October 2000 has a full unexpurgated transcript of the tapes, the legendary and fruity studio disagreements feature 137 swear words in only a few minutes.

	The Troggs
		Hailing from the relatively unknown British town of Andover, the Troggs hooked up with manager/producer Larry Page (who was involved in the Kinks' early affairs) in the mid-'60s.
		In the hands of the Troggs, "Wild Thing" -- with its grungy chords and off-the-wall ocarina solo -- became a primeval three-chord monster, famous not only in its original hit Troggs version, but in its psychedelic revamping by Jimi Hendrix, who used it to close his famous set at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
		The Troggs' image as lunkheads couldn't have been helped by the notorious Troggs Tapes, a 12-minute studio argument that was captured on tape while the band were unawares.

	The Troggs
		The Troggs, hailing from the brick-laying town of Andover, were at the same time an anomaly for British rock of the Sixties and a standard, typical case.
		In the Troggs' defense, it should be said they actually developed as songwriters, and that the number of songs penned by Reg Presley and Co. steadily increased over the years; but few of them go over "moderately catchy" anyway.
		Although, granted, had the Troggs formed in the Seventies, I'm pretty sure they'd be marketed much better than they actually were: by the end of 1967, they were nothing but a bunch of had-beens as far as their commercial success is concerned.

		The single was close to a record ban because of the ljne "your slacks are low and your hips are showing." Nevertheless, it reached number two in the UK charts.
		This has since become one of the Troggs' best-known songs by virtue of a very poor cover version by Wet Wet Wet that topped the UK charts during the 1960s.
		The Troggs' place in music history has been assured not just because of Wild Thing but also because of the Troggs Tapes." These were taken from a recording session in the mid-seventies when the band was recording Tranquility.

	The Troggs
		The Troggs had a quality which made the rawest RandB groups seem sophisticated.
		They were discovered by the Kinks' manager Larry Page, and it was at his suggestion that the name was shortened to The Troggs when the band won a recording contract.
		Most of their hits were written by Reg Presley, but ultimately, they proved unable to develop musically and fell from favour with the record buying public.

		While the Troggs, did not leave behind an expansive legacy of recordings, they had an impact on everyone from Jimi Hendrix ("Wild Thing") to R.E.M. ("Love Is All Around") and can take some credit for the punk movement that would follow in their wake a decade later.
		The Troggs began their run of chart hits with Wild thing, a novelty song that reached number two in the UK but topped the charts for six weeks in America.
		For our purposes, the Troggs' ballad goes one better, serving as a steady conduit by which the sense of eternity which expressed itself in late-sixties music and culture can still be heard and felt (especially by many of those who lived it).

		Their debut flopped but after switching to Larry's new label Page One (distributed by Fontana Records), they found success with a cover of Chip Taylor's "Wild Thing", which reached number 2 in the UK in May 1966.
		Although they boasted three songwriters and potential solo artists whose work was covered by others, the Troggs were never taken seriously by the press or pop ‚lite.
		During the 70s they achieved a certain cult status thanks to the hilarious "Troggs Tapes", a notorious bootleg recording of an abortive session, consisting mainly of a stream of swear words.

	The Troggs: Nostalgia
		The Troggs began in the early 1960’s in the small English town of Andover.
		They forged a rough-and-ready rock sound and fittingly called themselves ‘The Troglodytes.’ When they were discovered by the then-manager of the Kinks, they shortened their name to the Troggs and began recording singles.
		Their distinctive sound and pioneering ‘punk’ attitude assure that the Troggs will continue to be an important and influential group for years to come.

	The Troggs Bio - Mars Talent
		Hailing from the town of Andover in southern England, The Troggs (short for Troglodytes) consisted of Reg Presley on vocals, Chris Britton, guitar, Pete Staples, bass guitar and Ronnie Bond on drums.
		The Larry Page Orchestra had a session booked, and The Troggs were told to wait outside in the van in case there was any studio time left.
		The Troggs still boast two founder members with the perpetual Reg Presley fronting the band, and Chris Britton on lead guitar.

	The Troggs - By: Lord Litter
		When The Troggs started with their straightforward, down to earth sound, rock music just entered the hippy trippy phase, which basically was leading to a dead end.
		Don't get me wrong, there are great creations from those years, but as usual, if all just goes in one direction, in the end you are that much farther away from the roots and the original strength is gone.
		Well, The Troggs are the band to prove that sticking to the original idea is the way to survive.

	The Troggs MP3 Downloads - The Troggs Music Downloads - The Troggs Music Videos
		Hip Hip Hooray is actually a retitled and slightly resequenced reissue of the Troggs' 1968 U.K. album Mixed Bag (which never came out in the United States), tacking on 11 CD bonus cuts from 1970 and 1973 singles.
		Instead, it was a budget-priced compilation matching eight songs that appeared on British and American singles in 1968 with four others that made their first appearance on the LP.
		Although all but one of the tracks was a Troggs original ("Hip Hip Hooray" being the lone exception), and although there were a few solid cuts, overall it was disappointing due to the weakness and surprisingly low energy of many of the songs.

	Wild Thing by The Troggs Songfacts
		This became known as "Caveman Rock." The Troggs is short for "troglodyte" (meaning "cave dweller"), which helped bolster this image.
		The Troggs were from England, and sent their manager to the US to make a distribution deal as Fontana (their British label) was initially hesitant to release it in North America.
		It was one the few songs Hendrix recorded that he did not write, and it gave the song new life on Rock radio stations, as Jimi worked it over in his legendary guitar style.

		The problem with the Troggs is that once you get past "Wild Thing" most people will be hard pressed to name another song the group recorded and the best offerings here are certainly not similar to "Wild Thing" in sound.
		So the big irony with the Troggs is that their signature song is the musical exception to the group's sound.
		The Troggs were formed in Andover, England, and were always much more successful on that side of the Pond (the group rarely toured in the U.S.).

		While the band was going through lawsuits brought on by their record label, Page One, two years after the release of their 1967 hit, Love Is All Around (#7 U.S.), the group broke up only to reform after litigations.

		Many of the Troggs' songs show a striking use of raw melodies that would surprise listeners who only know "Wild Thing." Before launching into his incendiary cover version, Hendrix called the Troggs' "Wild Thing" the British national anthem.
