The Animals - Animalisms - 180 Gram Red Vinyl LP

Animalisms was the third studio album and stands as landmark album that epitomizes The Animals' raw, electric energy during a transformative period in music history. As one of the defining records of British R&B, it encapsulates the band’s powerful essence just before the original line-up disbanded. Eric Burdon’s formidable vocal prowess combined with the band’s strong blues and soul influences showcases their departure from the more commercial sound of contemporaneous British pop bands. 

The album is a gritty collection of both popular blues standards and lesser-known tracks, demonstrating The Animals' unique blend of R&B and blues-infused rock.

Eric Burdon’s Vocals - A soul-stirring delivery that conveys raw emotion and intensity.
Dave Rowberry’s Organ - Adding a swirling, psychedelic undercurrent that accentuates the band's sound.
Hilton Valentine’s Guitar - Featuring biting riffs that embody the album’s fierce energy.
Chas Chandler’s Bass - Providing a solid foundation with a driving rhythm.
