The original release had a great photo of the band, in colour, Reg Presley to the fore, live on stage. And okay, it makes no difference to the music to change it, but this one just looks rather insipid by comparison to the 'all-action' picture it once had. No matter. The Troggs second album, and a great one at that, with tracks 1 to 14 being from the original release, and 15 onward as added bonuses. With Chuck Berry's 'Little Queenie' and Bo Diddley's 'Mona' within the listing, (both classics from their stage set, where on 'Mona,' Reg would play bass and bassist Pete Staples would sing), it had more Reg Presley penned songs than 'From Nowhere.' And with the band still scoring high positions in the charts at the time, this was The Troggs album to have, much more 'on-fire' than their first, but that's just my opinion. A great album of Troggs material from the boy's dubbed by someone as The World's First Garage/Punk Band! Often criticised for using no more then three chords, if they turned out albums like this by doing so, then this must be the reason why they're still treading the boards today!

Troggs - 'Trogglodynamite' (Repertoire)
26 Feb 2007
Format:Audio CD
Band's second 'actual' album, first came out in 1966. Fourteen track original lp, with eight(8) bonus cuts. Good job on the import CD reissue. Tunes that make the grade are "I Can Only Give You Everything", the ballad "Last Summer", "It's Too Late", "Mona", "Cousin Jane" (wasn't this tune a minor hit somewhere?) and another Chip Taylor gem "Anyway That You Want Me". Straight and to the point, memorable British Invasion rock&roll to grace your music collection. Very nice.

A Mixture of Rockers and Pretty Ballads.
3 Mar 2005
Format:Audio CD
The opening track on the Troggs second 1966 album is a cover of Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything", my favourite rocker on the original album, here only beaten by the bonus track "Give it to Me".
"Last Summer" and Oh No" are are pretty ballads in the well-known sparse Troggs arrangements.
"Let Me Tell You Babe" and Reg Presley's "I Want You to Come Into My Life" are two other fine songs, but all in all this is probably the Troggs' weakest 1960's album.
Fortunately there are some great bonus tracks ( 4 singles A's and B's ). The single hit "Any Way That You Want Me" is simply outstanding, and I love the guitar-riff of "Give it to Me". Most of the B-sides are pretty good.

the troggs are fresh even today

As one reviewer said this band can rev it up sixties style with sounds that influenced many types of rock and roll. Weezer, nirvana , lots of bands have a flavor that the troggs first laid down. The band just made classic cd's and this one has some great songs on it to be sure. the extra tracks also rock mostly so this is the version you want, I have everything this band put out pretty much and even their seventies stuff is really bad to the bone simplistic garagey , punky, poppy , well it's trogg music and that's a good thing.
