The Girl From Nowhere

The Troggs' debut British LP was substantially different, and distinctly inferior to, their first American long-player (Wild Thing), although eight of the songs appear on both records. The tracks unique to the British edition are all covers: "Ride Your Pony" and the obscure "The Kitty Cat Song" (both taken from Lee Dorsey), "Louie Louie," and Chuck Berry's "Jaguar and Thunderbird." And none of them are so hot. "Wild Thing" is the highlight of the disc, and the rest of the set is a mixed bag, peaks being the primordial power of "From Home" and "I Just Sing," as well "Jingle Jangle," the first of Reg Presley's tuneful ballads. The vaudevillian "Hi Hi Hazel," on the other hand, is a lowlight.

Six CD set. The Complete CBS Recordings 1966-72 is unquestionably THE definitive anthology of one of the most successful British pop groups of the late '60s. Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this release features every note of the band's recordings during their halcyon days with CBS. Huge hit singles ('Here Comes My Baby', 'Even The Bad Times Are Good', 'Silence Is Golden', '(Call Me) Number One' etc) highly-regarded psych-pop B-sides, criminally overlooked album tracks, alternative versions, outtakes, foreign language recordings, a live cabaret album and even the first-ever full release of the complete sessions for the 1970 cult movie May Morning, The Complete CBS Recordings gathers everything under one roof for the first - and, almost certainly, the last - time. Featuring no less than 165 tracks in mono, full fat stereo and even electronically-processed stereo (the way the band's mono-only early recordings were heard at the time in more stereo-oriented countries such as the USA), The Complete CBS Recordings is an essential purchase for both the band's numerous fans and admirers of late Sixties/early Seventies British pop in general. Containing over seven hours of music across six CDs, this stunning package includes a lavish 32-page booklet with a new 5000 word essay on the band's career, numerous band quotes and a huge number of extremely rare photos of the band in their youthful prime.
