The Troggs Arguing In The Studio - Part 1 of 2

[ASide45]

Even amateur bands with not much at stake can argue like this. It can feel good at times in a perverse way.

[EllisDeeful]

Fucin' ell

[RollingOrmond]

"it's your fuckin' wife, that's the problem, you can't do the solo because of your fuckin' wife."

[TheBritishLegions]

They sound like Southampton supporters!

[nergvol]

Friggin' Rock Gods from Mars with a Tiger Blood chaser.

[jbeatlegal]

They kissed their mothers with those potty mouths?! Whoa!

[pdorn777]

Fairy dust!!!!!

[ChornyKlegg]

Mozart and Beethoven behaved just like this, only they never recorded it

[dikless222]

I know the engineer who recorded this!!!!

[RecordingSessionPVPA]

@dikless222 What was the engineer's name who recorded this?

[robertwoolf]

Christopher Guest fodder!!

[ALBERTromano1965]

AMAZINGLY FUNNY!

[JimiMarshallFender]

This shit's so fuckin' hilarious!!! LMFAO!!!

[torch9t9]

The fuck you say.

[limzog9]

I wish my college was like this ....

[LenKenny]

Back in the late 70's, I used to work for a typesetting company, we used to play this nearly every night. Thanks for posting, brought back some great memories.

[helikestv]

Some fucking wobbleboard would've really made that song

[faroutlindsey]

REMINDS ME OF FORREST GUMP WHEN HE SAYS OF THE ABBIE HOFFMAN FIGURE"HE SURE LOVED TO SAY THE "F" WORD ALOT"

[bitchalot1]

No, we're not gonna do fucking "Stonehenge" tomorrow.

[Long23]

@bitchalot1 Genuinely, I laugh out loud relatively rarely...

[markdeanellen]

I just lurve Reg & Chris...

[miro236]

After listening to this I understand how they did "Love is in the Air". They care so much for what they're doing. Great!!

[BlackHeartGuitar]

All this for "Wild Thing"? LMF-ingAO!

[RedRoomNW]

Incredible.

[cpdaddy7]

It would have been better if they'd recorded in in dobly.

[0nthelevel]

fucking wobble board!!

[AllanWellsfanclub]

suddenly Lester Bangs' Troggs obsession makes more sense.

[giacblanc]

pure shake-speare!!!!!!!-edward devere, 17th earl of oxford

[LeeJTurnock]

"Oi've got a fucking sound in here that's facking great"...I love the way Reg's pronunciation of the f-word changes in the same sentence! The deep irony here is that this argument broke out while they were trying to record a song called ... 'Tranquility'!

[Oody61]

More cowbell lads

[xreddragonx]

The 4 minutes of zooming on the same picture makes it even more funny, for some reason. :)

[giacblanc]

@xreddragonx zoom and dissolve; ingenious editing

[jeepoffroad12345]

I fucking love this, i have the original tape too.

[nergvol]

This flogging great! Paul Schaffer SNL

[jaybone23]

I only just found out what a wobble board is.

[Lifesucksdie123]

classic.

[sheridw]

Anybody got a count on the F-Bombs?

[sinning1966]

Supposely it was far worse at early Pretty Things interviews. lol

[jsilence418]

Reg Presley is a pissed off boy !

[handinside]

They really were Wild Things

[DirkjeA]

Funny.......thnx for sharing Paul.

[PAULLONDEN]

Sprinkle some fuckin' fairydust

over the fuckin' bastard.

I'll piss over the fuckin' tape «•»_«•»

[123jhouse]

Are you sure this isn't The Wurzels? :) If The Beatles had been this crap, they'd still be trying to record Please, Please Me.

Step 1: Only press record when you are playing a song.

[Triplesod]

well that's not what the Beatles did. They had all tracks recording constantly, incase something great came out and they needed to remember it or save it.

[BadChizzle]

Great recording!

Thanks for putting this up, it made my morning! I think I've got some if that dust somewhere, I'll try putting it on a few of my recordings, and see what happens.

I never really knew much about the Troggs,

But now I dig those guys.

[sludgefingers]

btw a wobble board is one of things Rolf Harris used to use.

[JohnStick22]

either this is, or inspired spinal tap

[JohnStick22]

whoa? is this actually real?

[sludgefingers]

yeah it's real - I remember the tape circulating in the 70s.

[GooglelyTube]

This makes the Beatles' Let It Be arguments look pretty tame, doesn't it?

[plectrum34]

In the late 70's SNL did a skit based on this recording with Bill Murray and Paul Shaffer of Letterman fame(he was a semi regular on SNL at the time) playing medieval minstrels doing practically the same dialogue,only using the word "flogging" instead of the other F word.They used it so many times during the sketch that at one point Shaffer accidentally let the F bomb fly,pretty apropos considering it just recently happened again on SNL.

[buglah46]

One thing they could have done to make things better, would be to write a fucking song.

[PsychicKnife]

SPINAL TAP...

[mugwamp4]

this fucking cunt came into the recording studio one day ,, and i said fuck you you cunt and he said get fucked you cunt and i said dont call me a cunt you fucking cunt

[jofrad]

Actually its an 'Ampshire accent.

[oldaxekid]

what's a fookin' wobble board anyway? Leslie Cabinet? See, they say fuck more than bollocks...

[Paulmancieri67]

This might be their best recording.  Truly inspired. Genius.

[philturnour]

Gotta get me some of that fairy dust...

[axeblaster1000]

The song they were recording was....I love this...."Tranquility".

[giacblanc]

@axeblaster1000 What is the last word?

[riodv]

@giacblanc The last word = "wankers". Hilarious.

[faroutlindsey]

@axeblaster1000 THAT IS TOO FUNNY!! WONDERIF THE BEATLES HAD A FIGHT WHILE MAKING "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"?

[callicolady]

@axeblaster1000 LMFAO :):):)

[barrab]

@axeblaster1000 fuk off ass master

[JoeyTheFatKid]

i love when people argue about how to make something beautiful and perfect...good vibes

[mikemaccafan]

"It's a number one!"

What song are they talking about?

[timmcaskill]

dubba dubba dubba cha

[CantCopeWontCope]

gold!

[dfarmbrough]

One of their most entertaining recordings. When I think of the Andover sound, I think of this!

[BottomBoosh]

What Song are they trying to Play.

[TurtleRocker12]

funnier than spinal tap

[actron]

I'd like to hear the before and after versions of the song before and after the argument.

[oleshatterbutt]

I love this part of the recording process.Royalties for the F-word could nearly pay for the session!

[3shiftgtr]

This is what happens when mildly talented people, money, and ego work together.

[rhinohouse]

Listening to this makes me glad I don't play in bands anymore.

[hibob418]

I had heard that this is the inspiration for Spinal Tap's scene in the recording studio where the huge fight erupts leading to Nigel's walkout. Thanks for the post!!

[PAULLONDEN]

Wassup with those fuckin'fairies Reggie ?
