      ....I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue....I also forgot to menton "Come , Now". The "Archaeology" 2 CD set (3 counting the infamous "Troggs Tapes" in full) on Rhino will set you  on the right road. I'm sure you'll have to look for it on line , but , it would'nt hurt to contact Rhino regarding it's availability(?). I don't think.

      I just found out The Troggs are still touring Europe , minus Lead Singer Reg Presley , who's recovering from treatment for Lung Cancer , and has since retired. It's on their website (Tho' not much else , info - wise.) ....The new guest vocalist put in some time with a later version of The Animals , and some other revamped UK 60's groups.....It can't be The Troggs without Reg , but  , I'm sure he  gave them his blessings .

      A LOT of people share your opinion. I had the pleasure of being able to tell them I , and many others , want to adopt them as an American band.

      For me "I Just Sing" is A KILLER.

      I cannot list my fave Troggs tracks, as i have an huge amount of time for this band. In My opinion probably England's only genuine Sixties garage outfit.

      God , There's so many.

      Feels Like a Woman , Strange Movies , Gonna Make You (Even the 70's version.) , Lost Girl , Just a Little Too Much *, Evil , The Yella in Me , Maybe The Madman , Heads or Tails ,

      Say , Darlin' ,  Hip Hip Hooray , 66 54321 , Girl in Black , I Can Only Give You Everything **,,

      Surprise , Surprise (I Need You) , From Home , I Can't Control Myself , Night of The Long Grass , Supergirl , Hot Stuff , Suspicious , I Don't ,   I Do , I Do , and a zillion others.

      * A Ricky Nelson/Johnny and Dorsey Burnette cover. Their version is SAVAGE.

      ** Recorded shortly after THEM's original.

      My favorite Troggs ballad is probably "A Different Me". "Queen of Sorrows" , too.

      What they did to "Satisfaction" and , especially, "Good Vibrations" is a whole 'nuther animal.
