The Animals - Animal Tracks

Remastered mono edition reissue!

180-gram vinyl with original cover art!

Record label Abkco is reissuing the first four U.S. albums by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Animals.  Originally released between 1964 and 1966 on MGM Records, The Animals, The Animals on Tour, Animal Tracks and Animalization have been out of print for decades and will be made available on 180-gram vinyl in mono with original cover art.

Formed in Newcastle by frontperson Eric Burdon from the ashes of the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, The Animals were known for their hard driving, R&B-influenced sound and became a hit-making machine on both sides of the Atlantic right out of the gate.

Animal Tracks was released six months after the February 1965 release The Animals On Tour, in the same calendar year. As was customary for American versions of British records, hit singles were packed into it — "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (originally recorded by Nina Simone the previous year), Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home to Me" and the Mann/Weil-penned "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," the latter of which became a de facto anthem for U.S. Armed Forces G.I.s deployed to Vietnam.
