The Troggs formed in 1964 and were signed by the manager of The Kinks, Larry Page in 1965. They recorded on Page’s Page One Records, and Page also leased them to CBS for debut single “Lost Girl”.[1] Their most famous hit was the single “Wild Thing” (written by Chip Taylor), which with the help of television exposure on Thank Your Lucky Stars reached number 2 in the UK and number 1 in the United States in June 1966. Its combination of a simple heavy guitar riff and flirtatious lyrics helped it to quickly become a garage rock standard. It was recorded in one complete take (take two) at Olympic Studios in London, with Keith Grant engineering. Because of a dispute over US distribution rights, “Wild Thing” was released (along with the first album of the same name) on two labels: Fontana and Atco. The band’s success in the US was also limited by not touring there until 1968.[2]
They also had a number of other hits, including “With a Girl Like You” (a UK number 1 in July 1966, US number 29), “I Can’t Control Myself” (a UK number 2 in September 1966 — this was also their second and final dual-label release in the US, with Fontana retaining the rights to all subsequent releases), “Anyway That You Want Me” (UK number 10 in December 1966), all at Olympic Studios, “Night of the Long Grass” (UK number 17 in May 1967), and “Love Is All Around” (UK number 5 in October 1967 and US number 7 in February 1968). With chart success eluding the band, they split up in March 1969.
