The Troggs~1975 - Good Vibrations

THE TROGGS (literally: "troglodytes", "cave men") - British rock quartet who played the so-called "Cave Rock» (caveman rock), it turned out - according to the testimony of Iggy Pop and The Ramones - a significant impact on the formation of garage rock and punk roka.Buduschie THE TROGGS participants attended the same school in Andover, Hampshire. In the final year, Tony Mansfield (Tony Mansfield; guitar and vocals), Dave Wright (Dave Wright; lead guitar) and Reggie Ball (Reg Ball, bass) took part in a football match against a neighboring school. In the course of communication revealed that Ronnie Bond (Ronnie Bond, real name Ronald Bullis (Ronald Bullis) - Goalkeeper rivals - is able to hold not only the balls and drumsticks, and their school band just needed a drummer. A year later, in autumn 1964 year, Reg mason worker quit his job and led the group on a professional level. They decided to call themselves THE TROGGLODYTES, in honor of the ancient inhabitants of a nearby cave cheddar Gordzh.V 1965 Mansfield and Wright decided to give up music. Ball invited in their place two musicians from rival group - TEN FOOT FIVE, has already managed to make a "sorokapyatka» Send Me No More Lovin / Baby's Back in Town at the firm Fontana. Chris Britton (Chris Britton) played guitar, and Pete Staples (Pete Staples) - bass, so Reggie had up to the microphone. Closer to the fall on some dance floor manager Larry Page THE KINKS heard THE TROGGLODYTES sing You Really Got Me in their own rather peculiar arrangement. He was delighted by their aggressive manner and then invited the group to sign a contract. Already in February 1966 the CBS under the abbreviated name of the group for simplicity THE TROGGS released "EP," with the song Ball Lost Girl, which has successfully failed, and so for the next single Paige decided to take someone else's someone else's number. After some doubt, the choice was made in favor of an obscure song by American author Chip Taylor - Wild Thing, previously made unsuccessful American band THE WILD ONES. Initially, Reg was horrified by reading the lyrics, but weighted to replace the original sound and a whistle on an unusual solo Ball on ocarina, THE TROGGS recorded the song and offered it Fontana. Not quite decent by the standards of that time, the text has created an aura of scandal around the group, and the timely appearance in television Thank Your Lucky Star and Top Of The Pops helped to achieve national fame. In addition, Ball said that he officially changes its name to Presley (Presley). In May, Wild Thing took the second place in the British list, and a month later for two weeks topped the US charts. Another scandal occurred when it was discovered that in the US the song was published simultaneously by two companies - Fontana and Atco. It is worth noting that in the next year, as "the unofficial anthem of the UK", it played at the festival in Monterey, Jimi Hendrix, who finished their violent execution of burning guitar. In July, the first album THE TROGGS released in England in September - in the US and in the late fall - in Germany, where the band's popularity soon acquired epidemic. The next single, With A Girl Like You, was the first in England, but only 29th in the US, and I Can not Control Myself, respectively, the 2nd and 43rd. The author of both, now become classical, the room was Reg Presley. Paige by this time established his own company Page One, the first product of which was the second album THE TROGGS - Trogglodynamite. In early 1967 the band made another hit song Chip Taylor - Any Way That You Love Me (№ 8), and then released slightly less successful Give It To Me (№ 12). In the spring with a manager he was fired Paige, who tried unsuccessfully to change the image THE TROGGS. Quite unexpectedly for a group of hippie style Night Of The Long Grass (№ 17) was their contribution to the atmosphere of "Psychedelic Summer". In November THE TROGGS achieved last major success in the US with another hippie anthem - the song Love Is All Around (№7, №5 in the UK). Immediately after the case group began to decline sharply. In March 1969, the group left Pete Staples. In his place was taken by Tony Murray (Tony Murray) from THE PLASTIC PENNY. The band continued to perform, but now is not the big halls and theaters for variety shows and so on. N., And by the end of the year was quite broken up (1969-70 Presley recorded solo singles and Lucinda Lee Let's Pull Together, Bond - Anything For You, as Britton - a whole album As I Am), but managed to stay on the edge, and in 1972 - by which time Britton replaced Richard Moore (Richard Moore), - returned to active work in colleges and clubs in England, France, Holland and Germany. The success of the pirated cassettes The Troggs Tapes c recordings made by the Group at the end of its work with Page One, stimulate re older works and helped THE TROGGS sign a new contract with DJM. The growth of interest in them prompted David Bowie invite a group of his first American TV program The 1980 Floor Show (November 1973), which caused a new explosion in the United States for its popularity. In 1975, having been reconciled with Paige, THE TROGGS released on his new label Penny Farthing specific alterations Good Vibration by THE BEACH BOYS and (I Can not Get No) Satisfaction ROLLING STONES. The following year was undertaken great nostalgic tour of the United States, has had an enormous impact on the then just emerging new wave. In 1976, the composition of the deposited THE TROGGS second guitarist Colin "Dill" Fletcher (Colin Dill Fletcher), and on FM-radio constantly sounded their new single Summertime. At the end of the decade the composition has been altered several times: Murray left and the bass took over Lucas Pete (Pete Lucas), then was replaced by Joe Barth (Jo Burt), later played in SECTOR 27, appeared and disappeared, and so Britton. N . In 1979, THE TROGGS again performed in the United States, and the recording of the concert at the famous Cafe Max's Kansas City was later published in plastinke.Na over 80s are periodically surfaced from time to time something is published, although it was already the residual activity . In autumn 1991, they tracked down the band REM, longtime admirers THE TROGGS. The result was the communication written jointly (and even Paige as a producer) album, released in late 1991, which contained the original material (songs Presley, Peter Holseppla, Chip Taylor and others).
