"'60s Brit band The Troggs are garage music forefathers and are cited as influences on numerous alternative and punk bands such as The MC5, R.E.M., The Buzzcocks, The Fleshtones and countless others. Their classic rock hit 'Wild Thing' is an international classic covered numerously from Jimi Hendrix, X, Fancy, and Siouxsie & The Creatures. Other songs are revered and often covered including 'Love Is All Around', 'With A Girl Like You' and 'I Can't Control Myself'. The band recorded four studio albums in the '60s before a hiatus in the early '70s. They recorded two albums in the mid-part of the decade with The Troggs Tapes (not be confused with the legendary spoken word tapes) in 1976. This 12-track album has a '70s glam-punk sound with raucous tracks like 'Supergirl' and 'Down South to Georgia' along with cover versions of Rufus Thomas's 'Walkin' the Dog' and Brendon Dunning's 'Rock and Roll Little Lady'."

Dismissed by critics, shunned by historians, reviled by some, The Troggs were the first primal punk antidote to a bourgeois pop scene with too many teenage idols. Their primitive pop sensibility was a major influence on the '70s punk movement, particularly the Ramones, Iggy Pop, MC5, Sex Pistols, and R.E.M. who've cited The Troggs as a major influence. In 1977, the Beatles and the Stones were dismissed by the punks while the Troggs were embraced. Between their hits "Wild Thing", "With A Girl Like You", and "Love Is All Around", the Troggs made 12 appearances for the BBC courtesy of host Brian Matthew. Stand aside for a defining chapter in British rock as we unearth the raw Neanderthal sound of the Troggs live at the BBC from May 1967 to September 1968. Stunningly re-mastered here from the original transcription discs, with background liners, original interviews, anecdotes, and a plethora of rare original memorabilia. First time on vinyl. 180 gram, blue vinyl; hand-numbered, fold over sleeve with insert; edition of 1000.
