EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the swinging 60s, where British rock group The Troggs can be seen in an extraordinary setting during the recording of their single "The Lion". Standing proudly beside them is none other than a majestic rent-a-lion. The image captures the essence of both the era's wild experimentation and the band's unique approach to music-making. Posing casually, from left to right we see Reg Presley, Peter Staples, Chris Britton, and Ronnie Bond - all members of The Troggs who were known for their energetic performances and chart-topping hits. What makes this snapshot truly remarkable is undoubtedly the presence of a magnificent big cat by their side. This unexpected addition adds an element of intrigue and danger that perfectly complements The Troggs' rebellious spirit. As they gather around the lion with a mixture of curiosity and confidence, one cannot help but wonder about the story behind this unusual collaboration. Was it simply a publicity stunt or did it hold some deeper symbolic meaning? Regardless, it serves as a testament to the boundary-pushing nature of both artistry and entertainment during that vibrant decade. Bill Robson's expertly captured moment freezes time on November 10th, 1967 - forever immortalizing not only The Troggs but also an unforgettable fusion between man, music, and untamed wilderness.
