More from The Zone :: The Animals "Animalization” 1966 - TWILIGHTZONE

The Animals - Animalisation 1966 - Twilightzone

Now I may have said this before but The Animals The Most of . . . . . bought by my brother back in the sixties was and still is a major influence on my introduction to British RnB and blues structure leading into rock  . . . . . . . . but then this was followed up by this second set which as Eder points out is the American version. Fun none the less and turn it up and boogie round your Easter Eggs in your pants!

The U.S. version of the British Animalisms album removed the loose jam "Clapping," and the superb "Squeeze Her - Tease Her" and "That's All I Am to You" are removed in favor of the hits "Don't Bring Me Down," "See See Rider," and "Inside - Looking Out" -- it's still a great record, if not as cohesive as the U.K. version, and was the last original Animals LP to attract many buyers in the U.S. The song content of both versions has been assembled on Repertoire's 2000 release of Animalisms. - Review by Bruce Eder
