Free Music Review: This Gets me Goin'
Hit: 5 Stars
this is a great intoduction to the animals. unfortunatly i was not alive when burdon and the animals first came out on the scene, but it would blow my mind. i put this cd on a party and people go nuts. great cd packed with a lot of great hits....Free Music Review: Real stereo, thank God!
Hit: 5 Stars
Although these songs have been available on several different releases (not all on the same disk)to have all these songs in one place is a dream come true. To have them in great soundig remastered true stereo instead of the "electronically rechanneled for stereo" is the icing on the cake.I don't have a SACD player but got to listen to it ona friends. As incredible as the stero mix is the SACD is amazing. The definition is almost scary. Of course all this would mean nothing of the songs didn't hold up but there isn't a bad one in the bunch. I've even aquired an admiration for Spill The Wine, which I disliked when it was originally released. Highly recomended! To hear equal remastering of lighter material check out the good Herman's Hermits comp that came out at the same time.Free Music Review: Finally! A GREAT Animals Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was a fan of the Animals since they began. I was 12 when "House of the Rising Sun" became a hit!
But, frankly, their albums were always "spotty" - some great tracks mixed with mediocre to crappy songs.
Then, even their later Compilation albums were of questionable quality and did not have all the great tracks they should have had.
I have not heard the SACD version of this, but since it is "compatible", I will tell you that this sounds fantastic - clear and bright and clean! - in regular stereo!
As for the selection: they did not leave off ONE great track! It has them all! And some of them sound like you're hearing them for the first time, due to the excellent remastering.
Personally, I took this album, and ripped the tracks to my computer and made a 14-track cd out of it, with not ONE questionable or less-than-great track! This is - finally - a great collection of the Animals' - and Eric Burdon's - best songs.
Free Music Review: Retrospective The Animals
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay, first off I remember the British Invasion. Guess that makes me at least as old as dirt! This is a great album! One of the biggest pro's for the album is that it's done sequentially, so you can follow the change in sound The Animals created from their 1st hit all the way through and it's the first cd to include "Spill the Wine" (E.B. & War) as part of the package, which I though was about time! The only nit I have is the last song The Animals put out as a single (The Night) was not included as worthy of listening to. Otherwise, if you're as old as I am and you want all the singles, or if you're new to The Animals and looking for a good place to start, this cd is it! Let me put it this way, this cd is so good, I'm getting another copy for another rock fossil I know!Free Music Review: Greatest Hits
Hit: 5 Stars
This is nothing more than a copy of their three greatest hits records that were originally issued on vinyl, less a few songs. Most of these were previously available on a Greatest Hits CD, with the exception of their later material, e.g. When I Was Young, Montery, Sky Pilot, etc. Its about time that they finally released these later recordings in a Greatest Hit compilation, although they were never quite as good as their earlier material.
