BEST OF THE TROGGS FOR 001 (-67) UK MONO

Already posted on Best of Troggs vol.2, but can add this is just as good. Has everything a "Best of..." or "Greatest Hits" compilation should have, yet seldom do. It is some of the best they made up to the time this was compiled and all are original mono mixes. Also the sound quality is great - and by that I don´t mean smooth or digital, but exactly as raw and edgy as it was recorded. Troggs is today classed as garage and proto-punk and most of their early hits were made with simple settings and few overdubs on 4-channels. I have heard later album collections using fake stereo, with added reverb, or remastered, and they all miss the point! How can anyone today listening for the first time get an honest opinion about the group if all they hear have been re-made and altered by meddlesome technicians, some of them not even born when these recordings were made. So if You like to hear the true Troggs, as back then, this and vol. 2 is a good start. Not issued in US, but some of the tracks can be found on -68 compilation "Love Is All Around" Fontana (SRF 67576). First UK with laminated flip/back cover. (TRÖX*)
