Hidden deep within the caverns of garage rock, the Troggs crawl their way out to show the world what Punk Rock is all about! First let's get the crap out of the way, we all know these guys for the mega hit
Wild Thing, yeah yeah who cares, it's pretty much
Louie Louie with different words! The rest of the album is a mix of 60's camp and baroque-ish numbers. But the juicy meat of this record lays on two tracks
