All Music Guide

One of more than a dozen Troggs albums plastered with the title Wild Thing, the 18-track collection released by Prism in 2003 taps into the albums From Nowhere, Trogglodynamite, Cellophane, Mixed Bag, and especially Black Bottom. This makes for a very enjoyable tour of the band's first 15 years of variable success, ending with a rocking medley of popular tunes including "Twist and Shout," "Hang on Sloopy," and "Louie Louie," songs that come across as peculiarly well suited to interpretation by the Troggs.
