For years, I listened to the Troggs '60s tracks over and over, but I didn't venture into their '70s material. When that 2-CD "anthology" hot the streets in the '90s, I was amazed at just how strong the band remained right until the mid-'70s. Great material! Just wasn't as easy to "sample before buying" back then!

I was at a dance a few years ago (at the Eagles Lodge here in Portland) and one DJ played 50s songs, the other 60s. I remember saying I preferred 60s because I know the dances better but that early rock n roll gets me going in a different way. Maybe more visceral (as the eggheads say)

It had something to do with payola and Phil not wanting to give any to radio stations. The story is in Hit Men. He tried a little “experiment” with “River Deep” and it got no play.

don't call it "payola". It's "promotion incentive program"

Payola may not be the right word, but it was some shady record biz thing and Phil took a chance (thinking the song was so great they would have to give in).

Spector gave Ike Turner $20,000 for total control of production on River Deep, even though Ike's name still appeared on the record.

@becky - yes! was just rewatching his song today
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:52pm
Becky Ebenkamp:

That was the same song Courtney garbled her way thru!

Eric R:

I have mixed feelings about River Deep. It's a great production but, for me, there's something missing. It's not a chart record, it's a listening record. They loved it in England, though, I hear.

Art Rupe must have had a fit when he heard this plaigeristic take on Lawdy miss clawdy by BG.

I like the Lena Zavaroni version. It’s appropriate for a 10 year old. She still has a ragdoll. And a puppy.
