One of the most successful, and certainly one of the most prolific, German rock groups of the '60s, the Rattles enjoyed reasonable success in their native land without making much of an impression elsewhere (though some of their material was released in other countries). Starting out in the same Star Club-based Hamburg scene as the Liverpool groups of the early '60s, their early repertoire was built upon a similar base of '50s rock and soul/R&B. They released about 30 singles during the '60s (some on the Star-Club label itself), as well as almost ten albums, eventually making the transition to original material, and marching on well into the 1970s.

Samson - Are You Samson? (1969)
***
Samson was one of the more obscure outfits signed to Andrew Oldham's Immediate label, considering that they got to cut an entire concept album, Are You Samson?, which was released by the label in 1969. They played the Marquee Club, and were known around London, but never caught on. Keyboard man and singer Ian Kewley later worked with Strider and Limey, before hooking up with Paul Young. This Samson had no relationship to an early '70s English band of the same name.
***
Are You Samson? [UK Bonus Track]
Originally released in November 1969 on Andrew Loog Oldham's subsidiary to his failing Immediate, Samson sank without trace, which was about as much as could be expected. Oldham's seemingly careless attitude of not even releasing a single to wet the record buyer's appetite however is now easier understood: Immediate was at its end; within weeks of Samson's debut release Oldham's empire went bankrupt! As the band were eagerly recording their carefully calculated work, Oldham had a lot more to worry about than whether the next album released on his subsidiary would be a big seller. With little assistance from the label, and practically no promotion, it's not surprising that the album had such low sales figures. But the poor turnover of this admittedly tackily sleeved album is by no means an indicator of the music contained within. Samson brought into their music a successful blend of harmonies which sound akin to the Gregorian psych-era choral vocal parts of the Pretty Things and the Zombies, a touch of Deep Purple circa Shades of Purple, and a hint of the increasingly popular concept album. For sake of classification, their blending of Kinks-ish psych-pop with more progressive elements is befitting of the title progressive pop -- a contemporary handle used to describe everything from the Fox's For Fox Sake, Caravan's early work, and fellow north country lads the Koobas' 1969 album. If the later songs compiled on the superb Rubbles series appeal to you, Samson are well worth investigating. [The 2002 British re-release includes one bonus track, "Wool and Water."]

Ora - Ora (1969)
***
Ora:
Mark Barakan: guitar
Julian Diggle: drums
James Rubenstein: vocals, acoustic guitar
Robin Sylvester: bass, keyboards, guitar
Chloe Walters: guitar
Jon Weiss: lead guitar
It is an album of incredible beauty, recorded by some talented young artists, Here is an extract from the original 1969 press release:
Jamie Rubinstein, 18, leader, lead vocalist and guitarist with the group called ORA, wrote all the songs on their new LP. He arranged most of them. While making the album Jamie was studing for his GCE A Levels. This is the group's first release, a single is being planned.
Jamie and Robin Sylvester, 18, who plays bass guitar, piano, organ, and is co-arranger, are the main-stays of the four-piece group. The others, lead guitarist Jon Weiss and drummer Julian Diggle, are "floating" members. Jamie, Robin, and Julian had met at UCS (University College School) in Hampstead.
The Wah Wah edition will be housed in a gatefold sleeve that will respect the original artwork concept, graphically adapted to this new issue following the directions of Ora leader James Rubinstein. James himself signs the inner notes so you get an accurate first person told history of the band who would later become the legendary progressive rock group Byzantium.
This sensational band performed a most unique mixture of folk, jazz and pop sounds and recorded one of the most beautiful LPs coming from the UK in 1969. The original Tangerine issue was valued with four circles on Hans Pokora's "1001 Record Collector Dreams" book and an R3 "extremely rare" qualification on Vernon Joyston's "The Tapestry Of Delights", which means the Wah Wah 2LP set is definetely a very good chance to get the great recordings of this fab band into your vinyl collection and yet save some money for the university of your children! But you'll have to hurry for your copy since only 900 numbered copies are on sale and we do believe these should sell like hot bread! Otherwise expect To pay 500 sterling for an original UK Mint copy without the pressing defect (some original copies have a pressing defect on one song)

Fapardokly - Fapardokly (1966)
***
Though they were considered an enigma in the world of '60s rock collectibles, there was never a group called Fapardokly; the 12 songs on their self-titled album were recorded by Merrell & the Exiles, a Southern California group headed by legendary cult folk-rocker Merrell Fankhauser. That group cut several singles for the tiny Glenn label before heading off in a psychedelic direction and mutating into H.M.S. Bounty. The equally tiny UIP label decided to gather a few of the Glenn singles, add a few more psychedelically oriented tracks that Merrill and his group had recorded, and release the package as the work of a group called Fapardokly. Although it was not recorded or intended as a unified work, it stands as one of the great lost folk-rock classics of the '60s. Fankhauser went on to make more excellent obscure recordings with H.M.S. Bounty in the late '60s and Mu in the early '70s.

****
One of the most sought-after rock rarities of the '60s, this album was stylistically uneven, as can be expected from an LP cobbled together from recordings spanning a few years. About half, however, is sparkling psychedelic folk-rock, recalling Fifth Dimension Byrds with its shimmering twelve-string guitars, multipart harmonies, and occasional trippy lyrics. Although the early material is more pop-oriented and doesn't fit in as well, it's pretty solid, recalling the Zombies and (in the very earliest tracks) Ricky Nelson. "Lila," "Tomorrow's Girl," and "Super Market" are genuine lost '60s treasures, and much of the rest of the album isn't far behind.

Fapardokly were Merrell Fankhauser guitar, Bill Dodd lead guitar, John Oliver bass, and Dick Lee drums. The odd name being a combination of their surnames - or rather three of them plus that of Don Parrish, the original bass player.

Spirit - Son of Spirit (1975)
REPOST

Mp3\74Mb
"..Other than "Holy Man" , I'd say Son Of Spirit is a perfect Randy California/Ed Cassidy album to follow Spirit of 76 with... Personally , I loved "Farther Along" , ....there's not a flawed piece in there with many songwriting highlights and very clean production. Definitely a first rate comeback...why oh why couldn't it have lasted ??? Even without Ferguson , Matt Andes was a great addition , as he is on the posthumous Randy California/Spirit CD's Matt , where are you hiding ? You're a fantastic guitar player in your own right !Submitted by starman (Time Coast , USA) "...Son of Spirit and Spirit of 76 are my two favorite post-Jay Ferguson Spirit albums, but they are very different. Spirit of 76 is totally overdone while Son of Spirit pleasure lies in its simplicity. Some might say that it's slight, and some of Randy's lyrics are really quite horrible. But Son of Spirit is definitely the most emotional album that Randy ever put out. His sweet multitracked guitar is all over the place. Highlights are Don't go Away and Magic Fairy Princess (the steel drums make the sSpirit - Son of Spirit (1975)ong). Family is a low point. I give SOS 4 stars I absolutely hated Farther Along when it first came out, but it has improved a bit with time. Many of the songs are half-written and the horns seem out of place. This was a reunion with most of the original Spirit (excepting Jay) but it sounds nothing like the old stuff. Colossus and Pineapple are high points. Mega Star is good too. Don't Lock up Your Door is wretched, as are some of the instrumentals. It ends with a muzak version of Nature's Way. Uh-huh. I give it two stars Average the albums and you get 3 stars.Submitted by gershbec (Skokie, IL)

FROM JANCY
In 1964 their bassist Knud Kuntze ("Lord Knud") (*18 March 1944) had to leave the band due to an accident. He then started a career as a prominent German radio DJ. In 1965, the classic line-up of The Lords consisted of Ulli Günther (vocals), Bernd Zamulo (bass), Leo Lietz (guitar), Rainer Petry (guitar) and Max Donath (drums). This classic line-up existed until 1971, which marks the end of the classic and most successful period of the band.... MORE..

from JANCY !
Группа The Lords была сформирована в 1965 году пятью немецкими музыкантами, успевшими к этому времени поиграть в других немецких группах. Вообще же, корни группы уходят в 1959 год, когда кто-то из этой пятерки основал в Берлине скиффл-коллектив (к сожалению, его название мне не известно). В первой половине шестидесятых группа промышляла концертными выступлениями, в том числе на сцене знаменитого гамбургского Star Club, где и была в сентябре 1964 года признана лучшей немецкой бит-группой. The Lords, которую не замечали совершенно в англоязычных странах, была бешено популярна у себя на родине. Только спустя двадцать лет, когда у слушателей вновь появился интерес к музыке шестидесятых, о The Lords заговорили не только в Германии.В 1965 году группа сменила свое название и отправилась в турне по Германии вместе с гостями из Англии - группами The Kinks и The Who. Материал, который исполняли The Lords, на две трети состоял из кавер-версий песен английских и американских коллективов, но им придавалось более жесткое звучание и более быстрый темп. Среди кавер-версий, игравшихся группой, можно было услышать: Shakin' All Over, Que Sera, Poison Ivy, Tobacco Road и многие другие. Еще одну треть песен составляли песни собственного сочинения. Однако к концу шестидесятых ситуация в корне поменялась - The Lords стали записывать свой собственный материал (так, например, альбом 1969 года полностью состоит из материала, написанного гитаристами группы Литцем и Петри).
Дебютный альбом группы увидел свет в 1965 году; следующий - в 1966. The Lords становились все популярнее и популярнее в Германии. Уместным будет сказать, что 11 песен группы в период с 1965 по 1969 заняли первое место в национальном хит-параде (сингл Poorboy был просто безумно популярен). Невзирая на все эти успехи, в 1971 году группа объявила о своем распаде. В 1999 году в Потсдаме трагически погиб вокалист группы Улли Гюнтер.
В настоящее время группа возрождена и выступает с концертами в Германии.

Consisting entirely of covers, this is their most rock-oriented album, the German hit cover of "Shakin' All Over" leading the way. No great points for originality here, but this offers good evidence of the group's skills in bending a fairly wide variety of rock and R&B standards to their own means. "Shot of Rhythm & Blues, " "Doctor Feelgood, " "I Can Tell, " and "I'm a Hog for You Baby" are some of the tunes churned through their inimitable double-time Mersey bastardizations.

Although Germany had its place in rock & roll's evolution in the 1960s, it was primarily as an incubator for British bands playing grueling stints in Hamburg, not for homegrown talent. The Lords were about the best of a weak scene, populated by bands that could never seem to shake themselves free of stodgy Central European oom-pah folk traditions. Quite popular in their own country, the Lords made no impression in the English-speaking world until a couple of decades later, when reappreciation of '60s beat and garage music became so intense that collectors began to investigate the strange and wonderful world of Continental '60s rock.
The Lords are one of those groups that have to be heard to be believed. Although they had the requisite moptop haircuts, their repertoire was surprisingly anachronistic at times, drawing heavily from not only German drinking songs, but American folk tunes, Lonnie Donegan's skiffle, and the pre-Beatle British rock of Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Whatever they covered -- "Greensleeves," "Shakin' All Over," "Poison Ivy," "Tobacco Road," "Que Sera," "Sing Hallelujah" -- they made their own with frantically fast tempos, heavily accented Teutonic vocals (virtually all of their material was in English), and heavy overuse of tremelo guitar lines with mucho reverb, whammy bar, and Lesley organ-like effects. They also wrote some interesting material of their own that drew from the more contemporary influences of Merseybeat and English mod pop. The Lords were not brilliant musicians or composers, but they were fun, and they had the hearts of true rockers, although some modern listeners will find their approach too hammy and sloppy.
Between 1964 and 1968, the Lords were very prolific, issuing five albums and over a dozen singles. Unfortunately, there has yet to be a Lords compilation that truly focuses upon their best material, although a couple of their later albums have been reissued in Germany. As the group was pretty erratic (nobody wants to hear their singalong drinking tunes these days), a well-chosen anthology is necessary to appreciate their virtues; the North American listeners lucky enough to hear the group's best stuff have usually done so via tapes made by other collectors.

In Black And White In Beat And Sweet
The Lords' first album laid out the essentials of both what made them one of Germany's most distinctive '60s bands, and what made them seem antiquated in some respects. Unlike almost any other group from around the Western world, much of their repertoire was devoted to folk songs that had been popularized by Lonnie Donegan, with some rock & roll oldies covers thrown in. That's what you get almost without exception on this debut LP, though these covers are so eccentric, done as they are with heavy German accents and a hepped-up Merseybeat-like rhythm, that it's a lot better and more interesting than most such cover-dominated albums of the time. Straying a little more afield, they also throw in a cover of Bacharach/David's "Wishin' and Hopin'," as well as a pretty good early British Invasion-styled original, "Hey Baby, Lass Den Andern," which had been their first single in 1964 (and is the only track sung in their native German).

The Troggs - Black Bottom (1982)

Mp3\124Mb
****
FROM JANCY
***
Remembered chiefly as proto-punkers who reached the top of the charts with the "caveman rock" of "Wild Thing" (1966), the Troggs were also adept at crafting power pop and ballads. Hearkening back to a somewhat simpler, more basic British Invasion approach as psychedelia began to explode in the late '60s, the group also reached the Top Five with their flower-power ballad "Love Is All Around" in 1968. While more popular in their native England than the U.S., the band also fashioned memorable, insistently riffing hit singles like "With a Girl Like You," "Night of the Long Grass," and the notoriously salacious "I Can't Control Myself" between 1966 and 1968. Paced by Reg Presley's lusting vocals, the group -- which composed most of their own material -- could crunch with the best of them, but were also capable of quite a bit more range and melodic invention than they've been given credit for.
Hailing from the relatively unknown British town of Andover, the Troggs hooked up with manager/producer Larry Page (who was involved in the Kinks' early affairs) in the mid-'60s. After a flop debut single, they were fortunate enough to come across a demo of Chip Taylor's "Wild Thing" (which had already been unsuccessfully recorded by the Wild Ones). In the hands of the Troggs, "Wild Thing" -- with its grungy chords and off-the-wall ocarina solo -- became a primeval three-chord monster, famous not only in its original hit Troggs version, but in its psychedelic revamping by Jimi Hendrix, who used it to close his famous set at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
"Wild Thing" made number one in the States, but the Troggs' momentum there was impeded by a strange legal dispute which saw their early records simultaneously released on two different labels. Nor did it help that the band didn't tour the U.S. for a couple of years. As a consequence, the fine follow-up singles "With a Girl Like You" and "I Can't Control Myself" didn't do as well as they might have. In Britain, it was a different story -- they were smashes, although "I Can't Control Myself" had such an open-hearted lust that it encountered resistance from conservative radio programmers all over the globe.
The Troggs tempered their image on subsequent ballads, which utilized a sort of pre-"power ballad" approach. These weren't bad, and a few of them were British hits, but they weren't as fine as the initial blast of singles which established the band's image. "Love Is All Around," which restored them to the American Top Ten in 1968, was their finest effort in this vein. It was also their final big hit on either side of the Atlantic.
But the Troggs would keep going for a long, long time. In a sense they were handicapped by their image -- they were not intellectuals, certainly, but they weren't dumb either. They wrote most of their songs, and their albums were reasonably accomplished, if hardly up to the level of the Kinks or Traffic, containing some nifty surprises like the gothic ballad "Cousin Jane," or the tongue-in-cheek psychedelia of "Maybe the Madman." By 1970, though, they were struggling. They continued to release a stream of singles, most of which had a straightforward simplicity that was out of step with the progressive rock of the time, all of which flopped, though some were fairly good.
The Troggs' image as lunkheads couldn't have been helped by the notorious Troggs Tapes, a 12-minute studio argument that was captured on tape while the band were unawares. The Spinal Tap-like dialog helped keep their cult alive, though, and as punk gained momentum in the mid-'70s, they gained belated appreciation as an important influence on bands like the Ramones and (earlier) the MC5. They found enough live work (sometimes on the punk/new wave circuit) to keep going, although their intermittent records generally came to naught. In 1992, they rose to their highest profile in ages when three members of R.E.M., which had covered "Love Is All Around," backed the Troggs on the comeback album Athens Andover. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

This was only the fourth release on Patrick Mathe's legendary New Rose record label when it was distributed by RCA in Europe. This prototype punk music licensed from Stage Coach Records in England garnered interest in America from A&M, Arista, and Atlantic, specifically, when this writer brought the import album to those labels, but it was probably more curiosity from A&R (and in one instance, a label president), as the Troggs had settled into a definite cult niche. The earlier The Trogg Tapes on Private Stock and eventual Troggs on 45 on New Rose, with the infamous "Troggs Tapes" as a hidden track, were all more commercial than this fine underground disc. The title track, "Black Bottom," is cool with a nifty hook, and the entire project has as much authenticity to the primal Troggs urge as any Ramones album has to their relentless style. "Last Night" is not "Love Is All Around," but it is trademark Reg Presley and it is great, with '50s guitar riffs updated somewhat and reflective of the entire Black Bottom sparse sound permeating "Hot Days" and ringing through "Widge You" and "I Love You Baby." There's no commander Mike Chapman here to embellish the brittle sound, nor is there a Phil Spector to do what he did for Joey Ramone and crew. It's just a band playing minimal with familiar sound and a recognizable frontman, and it shows rock & roll integrity that is hard to match. "I Don't" creeps with personality, spurts of rhythmic guitar, and drums, with Presley teaching how to get a point across without resorting to rap music. A gem for those who appreciate good rock & roll minus the frills. The inverted Chuck Berry riffs of "Widge You" here should have propelled this band to a second level T. Rex.

The Moody Blues - The Singles plus (2000)
****
Although they're best known today for their lush, lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums, the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion. The group's history began in Birmingham, England with Ray Thomas (harmonica, vocals) and Mike Pinder (keyboards, vocals), who had played together in El Riot & the Rebels and the Krew Cats. They began recruiting members of some of the best rival groups working in Birmingham, including Denny Laine (vocals, guitar), Graeme Edge (drums), and Clint Warwick (bass, vocals). The Moody Blues, as they came to be known, made their debut in Birmingham in May of 1964, ... Read More...

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders - The Best Of.. (1994)
***
Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders first emerged out of apprentice telephone engineer Glyn Geoffrey Ellis' daydreams of becoming a successful pop performer. Rechristening himself Wayne Fontana after Elvis Presley's drummer, DJ Fontana, Fontana's first band was the Jets, a staple on the Manchester circuit through 1961-1962, but one which was doomed to failure.
According to legend, the original Jets broke up when Fontana and bassist Bob Lang alone turned up for the most important audition of their young career, at the famed Oasis club. Hurriedly, Fontana press-ganged a couple of other local musicians, bystanders in the bar, into service -- drummer Ric Rothwell... Read More...

Well-chosen 20-track anthology, covering the hits and the best of their rare 1964-1968 singles, as well as a couple rare cuts from U.K. LPs and EPs. It's actually a distinct improvement upon its U.K. counterpart Hit Single Anthology, as it includes the fine "It's Getting Harder All of the Time"/"Off and Running" single from the To Sir With Love soundtrack, and eliminates some of the weak covers and Wayne Fontana solo singles.

More than any other band, the Smoke epitomized the groove of Swinging London -- which was especially ironic when one considers that, at the height of their success, they sold more records in Europe than England. Their sound fell somewhere between mod and the Beatles -- their instrumental attack was somewhat Who/Small Faces-like, yet they delighted in cheerful vocals and infectious harmonies and melodies. Only slightly popular on their home turf, and unknown in the U.S., their biggest success was in Germany (oddly enough, for such a British-sounding group). The band hailed from York, where bassist Zeke Lund and lead guitarist Mal Luker began playing together in a band called Tony Adams & the Viceroys, whose lineup eventually ... Read More...

The Troggs - Good Vibrations 1975
****
FROM JANCY
Будущие участники THE TROGGS учились в одной школе в Эндовере, Хэмпшир. В выпускном классе Тони Мэнсфилд (Tony Mansfield; гитара и вокал), Дэйв Райт (Dave Wright; соло-гитара) и Редж Болл (Reg Ball, p. 12 июня 1943, Эндовер; бас) приняли участие в футбольном матче против соседней школы. В ходе общения выяснилось, что Ронни Бонд (Ronnie Bond, p. 4 мая 1943, Эндовер; настоящее имя Роналд Буллис (Bullis)) — вратарь соперников — умеет держать не только мячи, но и барабанные палочки, а их школьной группе как раз нужен был барабанщик. Годом позже, осенью 1964 Редж бросил работу подсобника каменщика и вывел группу на профессиональный уровень. Они решили назвать себя THE TROGGLODYTES, в честь древних обитателей находившейся неподалеку пещеры Чеддар Гордж.
В 1965 Мэнсфилд и Райт решили бросить музыку. Болл пригласил на их место двух музыкантов из конкурирующей группы TEN FOOT FIVE, уже успевшей сделать «сорокапятку» Send Me No More Lovin / Baby's Back in Town на фирме Fontana. Крис Бриттон (Chris Britton, p. 21 июня 1945, Уотфорд) играл на гитаре, а Пит Стейплз (Pete Staples, p. 3 мая 1944, Эндовер) — на басу, поэтому Реджу пришлось вставать к микрофону.
Ближе к осени на какой-то танцплощадке менеджер THE KINKS Ларри Пэйдж услышал, как THE TROGGLODYTES поют You Really Got Me в собственной, довольно своеобразной аранжировке. Он пришел в восторг от их агрессивной манеры и тут же предложил группе подписать контракт. Уже в феврале 1966 CBS выпустила «сорокапятку» с Lost Girl Болла под сокращенным для простоты именем THE TROGGS. Она провалилась, и для следующего сингла Пэйдж решил взять чей-нибудь чужой номер. После недолгих сомнений выбор был сделан в пользу Wild Thing Чипа Тэйлора, ранее неудачно сделанного американской группой THE WILD ONES. Поначалу Редж пришел в ужас, прочитав текст этой песни. Утяжелив звучание и заменив оригинальный свист на необычное соло Болла на окарине, THE TROGGS записали песню и предложили ее Fontana.
Не вполне пристойный по меркам того времени текст создал вокруг группы ореол скандала, а своевременное появление в телепрограммах Thank Your Lucky Star и Top Of The Pops помогло добиться национальной известности, также Болл заявил о том, что он официально меняет свою фамилию на Пресли (Presley). В мае Wild Thing вышла на второе место в британском списке, а месяцем позже на две недели возглавила американские чарты. Еще один скандал произошел, когда выяснилось, что в США песня издана одновременно двумя фирмами — Fontana и Atco.
В июле первый альбом THE TROGGS вышел в Англии, в сентябре — в США, а в конце осени — в Германии, гда популярность группы сразу приобрела эпидемический характер.
Следующий сингл, With A Girl Like You был первым в Англии, но только 29-м в США, а I Can't Control Myself — 2-м и 43-м соответственно. Автором обоих, ныне ставших классическими, номеров был Редж Пресли. Пэйдж к этому времени организовал собственную компанию Page One, первым продуктом которой стал второй альбом THE TROGGS Trogglodynamite.
В начале 1967 группа сделала хитом еще одну песню Чипа Тэйлора Any Way That You Love Me (№ 8), а затем выпустила чуть менее удачную Give It To Me (№ 12). Весной с должности менеджера был уволен Пэйдж, безуспешно изменить имидж THE TROGGS. Довольно неожиданная для стиля группы хиппистская Night Of The Long Grass (№ 17) стала их вкладом в атмосферу «Психоделического Лета». В ноябре THE TROGGS добились последнего серьезного успеха в США с еще одним хиппистским гимном Love Is All Around (№7, №5 дома). Сразу после этого дела группы резко пошли на спад.
В марте 1969 из группы ушел Пит Стэйплз. На его место был взят Тони Мюррей (Tony Murray) из THE PLASTIC PENNY. Они продолжали выступать теперь уже не в больших залах, а по театрам варьете и т. п., а к концу года совсем было распались (Пресли в 1969-70 записал соло-синглы Lucinda Lee и Let's Pull Together, Бонд — Anything For You, а Бриттон — целый альбом As I Am), но сумели удержаться на грани и в 1972; Бриттона к этому времени сменил Ричард Мур (Richard Moore); вернулись к активной работе в колледжах и клубах Англии, Франции, Голландии и Германии.
Успех пиратской кассеты The Troggs Tapes c записями, сделанными группой в конце ее работы с Page One, стимулировал переиздание старых работ и помог THE TROGGS подписать новый контракт с DJM. Рост интереса к ним побудил Дэвида Боуи пригласить группу в свою первую американскую телепрограмму The 1980 Floor Show (ноябрь 1973), что вызвало в США новый взрыв ее популярности.
В 1975, примирившись с Пэйджем, THE TROGGS выпустили под его новым лэйблом Penny Farthing специфические переделки Good Vibration THE BEACH BOYS и (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction STONES. На следующий год было предпринято большое ностальгическое турне по США, оказавшее колоссальное воздействие на только зарождавшуюся тогда новую волну.
В 1976 состав THE TROGGS пополнил второй гитарист Колин «Дилл» Флетчер (Colin Dill Fletcher). На FM-радио постоянно звучал их новый сингл Summertime.
В конце десятилетия состав еще несколько раз подвергался изменениям: Маррей ушел и бас взял в свои руки Пит Лукас (Pete Lucas), затем его место занял Джо Берт (Jo Burt), позднее игравший в SECTOR 27, появлялся и исчезал Бриттон и т. п. В 1979 THE TROGGS опять выступали в США, а запись концерта в знаменитом кафе Max's Kansas City была позднее издана на пластинке.
На протяжении 80-х годов они периодически всплывали на поверхность, время от времени что-то издавали, хотя это уже была остаточная активность. Осенью 1991 их разыскали музыканты R.E.M., давние почитатели THE TROGGS. Результатом общения стал записанный совместными усилиями (и даже с Пэйджем в качестве продюсера) альбом, вышедший в конце 1991 и содержавший оригинальный материал (песни Пресли, Питера Холсэппла, Чипа Тэйлора и других). В записи участвовали Пресли, Бриттон, Лукас, новый барабанщик Дэйв Мэгз (Dave Mags), а также трое из четверых членов R. E. M.
13 ноября 1992 расставшийся с группой в середине 80-х годов Ронни Бойд умер от алкоголизма

The Troggs were signed by the manager of The Kinks in 1966 and recorded on Larry Page's Page One Records. Their most famous hit was the single "Wild Thing" (written by Chip Taylor), which reached #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.
They also had a number of other hits, including "With a Girl Like You" (a UK #1 in July 1966, U.S. #25), "I Can't Control Myself" (a UK #2 in September 1966), "Anyway That You Want Me" (UK #10 in December 1966), "Night of the Long Grass" (UK #17 in May 1967), and "Love Is All Around" (UK #5 in October 1967 and US #7 in February 1968). In the early 1970s, in an attempt to re-create their 1960s successes, the Troggs re-united with Larry Page, now running Penny Farthing Records, but the resulting cover version of the Beach Boys hit Good Vibrations did not capture the public's imagination. The Troggs still exist and still play gigs. Their original drummer Ronnie Bond died in 1992.

The Move - Omnibus: The 60s Singles As and Bs
****
The Move were the best and most important British group of the late '60s that never made a significant dent in the American market. Through the band's several phases (which were sometimes dictated more by image than musical direction), their chief asset was guitarist and songwriter Roy Wood, who combined a knack for Beatlesque pop with a peculiarly British, and occasionally morbid, sense of humor. On their final albums (with considerable input from Jeff Lynne), the band became artier and more ambitious, hinting at the orchestral rock that Wood and Lynne would devise for the Electric Light Orchestra. The Move, however, always placed more emphasis on the pop than the art, and never lost sight of their hardcore rock & ... Read More..

Subtitled "The 60s Singles As and Bs," here's almost all the Move you'll ever need. If you're a fan of '60s British pop with alternating heavy dashes of pyschedelia and '50s retro-rock thrown in, the Move were the perfect embodiment of that odd blend. For newcomers, this is the group that Jeff Lynne later joined which permutated into the Electric Light Orchestra after scoring one last hit as the Move with the two-sided killer "Do Ya" b/w "California Man," both outside the timeline of this package, thus making it sadly incomplete. But the 20 tracks aboard are the original group with Carl Wayne and deliver all the other hits, B-sides, and even include two bonus tracks, an Italian version of "Something" and the withdrawn B-side "Vote for Me." Fans of the early Who will go bonkers for this one, solid Brit-pop all the way.

Not so well known as The Beatles, The Stones, Small Faces, Pretty Things, Led Zep or even Black Sabbath, The Move was a great British rock band at the late sixties. OMNIBUS is a good example of their musical force. Not only rock and roll, not only rhythm and blues, not quite hard rock, The Move is the natural link between the flower power age and the hard and heavy decade of the seveties. As other good bands which didn't really reach the "Hall Of Fame" (I can mention Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack, even the Moody Blues) The Move hepled a lot the developpment of rock music whithout getting the proper recognicion. OMNIBUS proves all the above. This album suffer from a miss of coherent vision, but some tracks are really nice: I Can Hear The Grass Grow, Lemon Tree, Fire Brigade, Wild Tiger Woman. Being a collection of A's and B's singles (as it was fasionable to edit in the sixties) Omnibus is a good example of what The Move's music was at that time. However, if you wanna buy it, better check out with other titles, as some collection may include many of those tracks. If you really are a Move fan or you love very much the sound of the sixties (as is my case) you should get this album. If you enjoy the Electric Light Orchestra, is good to know how everything has started.
