Mixed Bag - Plus!
12 Mar 2005
This album is practically the same as the Troggs' fourth European album "Mixed Bag", which was originally released on Page One in 1968.
The "Mixed Bag" title was probably chosen as only 4 tracks were specifically recorded for the album. The other tracks were recent singles A's and B's.
Of the 4 new songs Reg Presley's two contributions "We Waited For Someone" and "Purple Shades" are very good. I especially like the first.
Guitarist Chris Britton wrote and sang the rocker "Heads or Tails" which does not not really sound like a Troggs song. "Off the Record" is the Troggs fooling in the studio and not really a song.
Of the singles the two Reg Presley ballads "You Can Cry if You Want to" and "Little Girl" are standouts and among the very best Troggs 1960's recordings.
The Britton B-sides "Say Darling" and "Maybe the Madman" are quite charming.
Ronnie Bond's ballad "There's Something About You" ( sung by himself ); sound like something that could have been recorded by the Walker Brothers or the Merseybeats. Quite nice, but not really Troggs music.
No less than 11 bonus tracks; all singles released from 1970-1973.
During the early 1970's the Troggs were less high-profiled and their sound became gradually more and more mainstreamed, though Presley still was their prime song-writer.
Of these singles the heavy "Feels Like a Woman" is really good.
The ballad "Listen to Man" somehow lacks the charm of their 1960's ballads, and appears too sentimental for my taste. Another ballad is "Queen of Sorrow" which works much better.
Except for the vocals, "Strange Movies" almost sounds like late T.Rex. Another heavy track.
After some of these heavy tracks, the commercial Reg Presley solo-single "'S Down to You Marianne" is quite uplifting.
If you like the Troggs, there is plenty to go for here!

Classic bubble gum
6 Jun 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you like english bubblegum this is you're disc! It is groovy in the truest sense however, if you are looking for 60's hard rock/ protopunk or the caveman whollop of wild thing it represents less than a quarter of the album. most of the hard hitting fuzzbox stuff is in the bonus tracks and it is tasty! I'm still looking for there super tough fuzzbox stuff...

the troggs are a 60's band that will be remembered throughout eternity!
sometime in the future there might not be humans as we know them, and some space alien is going to say "sir we have a radio signal" and from that point on them little purple n green buglike space aliens are going to be slithering around singing bah bah ba bah bahh ba bah ba bah bahhhhh.
