The Troggs posing at Cheddar Caves, Somerset in 1966 The band's success in the US was also limited by not touring there until 1968. Because of a dispute over US distribution rights, "Wild Thing" was released (along with the first album of the same name) on two labels: Fontana and Atco. It was recorded in one complete take (take two) at Olympic Studios in London, with Keith Grant engineering. Its combination of a simple heavy guitar riff and flirtatious lyrics helped it to quickly become a garage rock standard. Their most famous hit was the single " Wild Thing" (written by Chip Taylor) (the song on the B-side of the single depended on the country where it was sold) which, with the help of television exposure on Thank Your Lucky Stars, reached number 2 in the UK (b/w Reg Presley's song "From Home") and number 1 in the United States in July 1966. They recorded on Page's Page One Records, and Page also leased them to CBS for the debut single "Lost Girl". They were signed by Larry Page, manager of the Kinks, in 1965. In 1964 they were joined by Pete Staples (bass) and Chris Britton (guitar) and became the Troggs. Reg Presley (lead vocals) and Ronnie Bond (drums) were childhood friends and in the early 1960s formed an R&B band in their home town of Andover.
