The soundtrack of the game included licensed songs from the 60's rock band The Troggs ("I Can't Control Myself" and "Lost Girl"), Rare Earth ("Feelin' Alright") and an original game score.
The Paupers also shared the bill with classic acts such as The Troggs, Hunters and Collectors, Screaming Tribesmen, and TISM.
Another mod band, Small Faces, and other bands liked by mods — such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Kinks, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, The Animals, The Yardbirds, The Moody Blues and The Troggs — had band members wearing striped blazers/boating jackets or later, brightly coloured blazers with wide white or other light edging.
Like the earlier Instrumental Asylum the record offered four free-wheeling and light-hearted improvisatory arrangements of current pop songs, The Troggs' "Wild Thing" and "With a Girl like You" and Georgie Fame's "Sunny" and "Getaway".
The original From Nowhere — The Troggs album sleeve photo was taken at Cheddar Caves, Somerset, UK, on 22 May 1966.
Though not a founder member of the band (Staples replaced David Wright), Staples and guitarist Chris Britton left their first group together, Ten Feet Five, in 1965 to form the classic line-up of The Troggs with vocalist Reg Presley and drummer Ronnie Bond.
According to Allmusic's, Richie Unterberger, "This aggregation cut the rawest Australian garage/punk of the era, and indeed some of the best from anywhere, sounding at their best like a fusion of the Troggs and the early Who, letting loose at times with wild feedback that was quite ahead of its time".
