The Troggs - I Can't Control Myself / Gonna Make You (1966)



Side A:
I Can't Control Myself

Side B:
Gonna Make You

I can't work out if this is a double A side or not. If it's not, it fucking well should be. This is another example of why I love hearing 60's music on 45. Both sides of this single - possibly my two favourite Troggs songs - jump up from the grooves and really come alive. Maybe it's the ragged mono mixes? Maybe it's that groups like The Troggs are carelessly issued on CD (and cheap LP compilations) so that many of the releases sound limp in comparison (no CD I've heard does that bass on 'Gonna Make You' any justice)? Whatever the case may be, this blistering little single is the best way I've found to hear these songs.
