Free Music Notes for The Best Of Eric Burdon & The Animals, 1966-1968
Free Music Review: How high can you fly?
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD covers 1966 to 1968. Only the first four cuts feature the original Animals. The rest feature Eric Burden and the "New" Animals. The groups are quite different. The original group played blues-based rock, and the new group played psychedelic rock. Personally, I prefer the original group's sound. But there are still some great tracks here, like "Sky Pilot" and "When I Was Young". It should be mentioned that "Inside Looking Out", "When I Was Young" and "A Girl Named Sandoz" are in mono, for some reason. I suppose they couldn't find the multi-track tapes for those songs.Free Music Review: Eric Burdon&The Animals-'The Best Of.......1966-68'(Polydor)
Hit: 4 Stars
Maybe not the best Animals compilation,but a good one at that.Total of fifteen tracks,with the better ones being "Don't Bring Me Down"(sure beats any cover version that's been done since then),"Hey Gyp","When I Was Young"(my personal Animals favorite),"San Franciscan Nights","Monterey" and "Sky Pilot".Great British Invasion rock 'n roll to be fully experienced here.Line-up for many of these tunes are Eric Burdon-vocals,John Weider-guitar,Chas Chandler(R.I.P)-bass,Vic Briggs-keyboard and Barry Jenkins-drums.A nice find.Free Music Review: NOT BAD
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a pretty decent CD that dips into both trippy-dippy hippie psychedelia and raw garage rock. I love that Girl Named Sandoz tune. ... As stated in other reviews, some of the lyrics are [weak] but that is not uncommon with many late '60s releases. If you like "Nuggets" style music then this CD is worth a listen, but those looking for the earlier R&B based Animals lineup should check out the Abkco Greatest Hits CD. The 1966-68 Animals roster is completely different, with the exception of Eric of course.Free Music Review: Good stuff -- but not the complete story
Hit: 4 Stars
A lot of great tunes are on this CD. "Don't bring me down" just revs me up every time I hear it. What a great song. However, if you just get this, you are missing a lot of the earlier classic Animals tunes. No Animals collection is complete without tunes like "House of the Rising Sun," "It's My Life," "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place," and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Pick up the Abkco collection for those songs.Free Music Review: Mostly Good
Hit: 4 Stars
I was a little disappointed that "House of the Rising Sun" was omitted from the included tracks, since that was probably their biggest hit, but I guess that is my fault for not paying closer attention to the song list.
Other than that, I am satisfied, and was surpised at how fast I received the shipment.
