This is the best compilation of the Troggs' singles available. It contains all their single A sides and a few B sides from their first single release in 1965, Lost Girl, to the mid 70s. Another positive is that all the songs are the original recordings, not re-recordings or remixes.All the hits, including Wild Thing, With A Girl Like You and Love Is All Around, are there along with the singles which failed to chart but some of which certainly deserved to be hits.This is recommended for all genuine Troggs fans.

I bought this three disc set after I fell in love with the eighteen track Trogg's Singles Anthology, which contains 9 hit singles and their B-sides. These guys had a truly original sound that is virtually timeless. One disc wasn't enough and this box set has everything a Trogg's fan could want at a bargain price. The sound quality is excellent. The rockers are the most fun, but their ballads are a nice change of pace. No British Invasion collection would be complete without the Troggs. This is fresh, edgy rock, without all of the noise and distortion. If you like the early Stones, Yardbirds, and Animals, you will love this.

Anyone remember / OR have that Rhino 2-CD release 'Best Of The Troggs'? This 3-CD box set sort of reminds me of that, only of course more outstanding Troggs cuts that many of us hardly remember. Total of 79 tracks here, so it takes awhile to listen to. Songs that barely began to scratch the surface are "Lost Girl", "Wild Thing", "With A Girl Like You","Love Is All Around", "Evil Woman", "Feels Like A Woman", their Beach Boys cover "Good Vibrations", Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue", "Every Little Thing",the list goes on. Great British Invasion rock & roll, a true keeper. Would make a nice gift.

Twenty-six track compilation of all (well, most anyway) we can assume of The Trogg's A and B side singles. Believe there's a 3-CD box set / 79 track release of the same name. To avoid confusion, this is a single-disc title. If you're an old Troggs fan, you should remember these timeless British Invasion songs, like "Lost Girl", their, of course biggest hit "Wild Thing", "With A Girl Like You", "I Can't Control Myself", "Love Is All Around" and "The Raver". GREAT {deep album cut}, this is the tune that goes: "A man's not a man and boy's not a boy, until he's been with my Joanne". Vintage material here. An absolute must-have.

The Troggs were a great band. Many know "Wild Thing" but they have so many great songs. This collection really does them justice. The simple punky garage sleezy attitude in the voice on these perfect rock n roll sides should please any rocker. Check this one out lots of lost treasures.

Those who know only of the Trogg's "Wild Thing" are in for a suprise. There is a wide variety of styles from country to pop to ballads. Good stuff.
