Animalism by the Animals on MGM label, is the 5th US release for the band. Probably most famous for their version of House of the Rising Sun on the first album, this album has three really great bluesy covers: Smoke Stack Lightning, by Chester Burnett (Howlin' Wolf), Hit The Road Jack (Percy Mayfield) and Going Down Slow (James Oden).

1966 mono copy E 4414, this album was in a box of records I bought at an auction.  Most were trashed, but there were a few worth keeping, like this one in VG condition.  I think this was the last release as The Animals, except perhaps for future reunion albums.

Now billed as Eric Burdon & The Animals, (although The Animals are mainly session musicians) Eric Is Here, in my opinion, is a fairly weak album.  Being a Randy Newman fan, I bought this because there are three songs of his on this album.
1967 release on MGM SE 4433 VG condition.



1968 was a productive year for Eric Burdon & The Animals.
Everyone of Us is the second of three albums released that year in the US.

I like this album a lot.  Although hard to define, it ranges from beautiful instrumentals in Serenade to a Sweet Lady, spoken work on The Immigrant Lad, to the psychedelic Year of the Guru; and that is just side one! MGM SE 4553, VG+ condition, another garage sale pick.
