Description:

The Animals: Eric Victor Burdon (vocals); Alan Price (guitar, piano, organ, vibes, bass); Hilton Stuart Patterson Valentine (guitar); Bryan James "Chas" Chandler (bass); John Steel (drums).
Newcastle`s entry in the British Invasion burned brightly and briefly, officially disbanding in 1968, but the heart of the unit had been pierced in 1965, barely a year after the original five members began recording, when co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Alan Price quit. This ABCKO compilation was originally released around the time of Price`s departure. It features a respectable sampling of the greatest hits of The Animals` first lineup, from their signature hit version of "House Of the Rising Sun" and the oft-covered gem "Don`t Let Me Be Misunderstood," to their brilliant take on Sam Cooke`s "Bring It On Home To Me."
The sound, while unspectacular, adequately captures the sincere soul of Eric Burdon`s unmistakable mournful, yet arrogant, wail. As an added treat, the album`s cheeky original liner notes, a rundown on the "boys`" likes and dislikes, are included here.
