About this album

This compilation captures Eric Burdon & The Animals at their most adventurous, tracing the group’s move from British R&B roots into harder-edged psychedelia and socially aware rock. By the mid- to late-1960s, Burdon’s raw, expressive voice and the band’s heavier arrangements had produced a string of signature songs, including Sky Pilot, San Franciscan Nights, Monterey and When I Was Young. The selection shows how the group helped expand the Animals’ original sound into something tougher, stranger and more wide-ranging, mixing blues-based drive with West Coast colour, protest themes and dramatic studio ambition. It stands as a concise overview of one of the era’s most distinctive British rock acts.
