223. With A Girl Like You by The Troggs 1967

YouTube - The Troggs - With A Girl Like You (1967)
this was on one of my mate's brother's mixtapes he played in his Holden station wagon as he drove us around. Phil Joyce  opened my ears to a lot of the kind of music I wanted to emulate.  I loved the Troggs. They had some classic pop songs with a raw edge. And I loved the striped suits they wore while posed in caves. I guess it was showing off their cavemen wild beat thing. They were wild things!
This was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar. So when The Fiction got going I introduced it to the band and we started playing it live. It went down so well we actually went into the studio for our first ever recording session and recorded this song along with 3 originals including an early attempt at Things Will be Different complete with Be My Baby drum beat.
