THE TROGGS
France 1981 [no label, 1CD]
Unknown Venue, Dijon, France; October 5, 1981. Very good FM broadcast.
On February 4, 2013, singer-songwriter Reg Presley of The Troggs died from lung cancer. He had also suffered a “succession of recent strokes”. Presley was 71. The Troggs, with their brand of punk and power pop, had a number of hit songs, including Wild Thing, With A Girl Like You and Love Is All Around, which was covered in the 1990s with huge success by Wet Wet Wet.
The BBC reported that Presley had announced his retirement from music a year ago after being taken ill during a concert in Germany and being diagnosed with lung cancer.
Thanks to woffDLV who shared the tracks on Dime.
woffDLV notes:
From the Rummy Rumsfeld tape collection. An annoying DJ is talking into the music now and then to tell the listeners what they hear, after Reg Presley announced already… Some radio interference can be heard in the background, otherwise a very good sounding recording.
Thanks to davies51 for the artwork.

Timmy although they may be cowardly when it comes to World Wars,the French can be quiet violent when it comes to defending their radio shows so please be careful…we don’t want another world war where they betray the Allies and side up with the Axis! Now please play nice and i WIll make some Kraft Dinner and hotdogs…cut up of course!

I recently purchased a WW2 French rifle in mint condition - it had only been dropped once…

And I bet you my son Darth’s life that it had never been fired!

Off-topic, RIP Tony Sheridan, early mentor to the Beatles. Their first records were with him, My Bonnie and Ain’t She Sweet.
