THE ANIMALS
ERIC BURDON, HILTON VALENTINE, CHAS CHANDLER, JOHN STEEL, ALAN PRICE
One of the most important bands originating from England's R&B scene during the early '60s,
the Animals were second only to the Rolling Stones in influence among R&B-based bands
in the first wave of the British Invasion. the Animals had their origins in a Newcastle-based group called
the Kansas City Five, whose membership included pianist Alan Price, drummer John Steel, and vocalist Eric Burdon

RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
Released a month ahead of its U.K. counterpart, with which it shared only seven of its 12 tracks,
the Animals' first American album is an entertaining assortment of the recent LP sessions,
plus both sides of their first two singles ("Baby Let Me Take You Home" and, of course,
"House of the Rising Sun") and one further B-side, "Blue Feeling" (from the newly
released "Boom Boom" single). The presence of that latter track, incidentally, would see
British collectors spend much of the next 27 years searching for American pressings,
before it finally found its way onto a full U.K. release; that matter notwithstanding, however,
both permutations of the album offer up a handsome representation of precisely what the Animals
meant at this time, a drawling, dirty R&B (with the emphasis on the B) sound...(AllMusic)
