The Troggs - 'Coz We Were Dancing (Germany, 1980)

 

The Troggs were one of the few bands from the sixties that survived  that decade without venturing into prog or americana and made great records well into the 70s. Still the 1980 date on the label made me feel somewhat apprehensive. 

No need to heave worried tho', 'cause this is a killer update on their original sound, same three chords, same poundin' Diddley-esque drums and a rhythm guitar that sounds like static! 

A on/off for German Polydor is seems, and that's a shame. But maybe 1980 wasn't the right year for glammy updates of sixties hits.

The good news is that you can still get it cheap!
