THE ANIMALS STORY - VOL. 2 CTX 40.251 (-66) MONO FRANCE

French compilation having most cuts in common with US "Animal Tracks" and same mono mixes and audio as on a number of other issues with the group. If just for that I wouldn't have bothered, but there's a few things making it special. As far as I know this is the only Eurpean album having the mono mix of "I Can't Believe It", the laminated flip/back cover with the unusual front pic is attractive and the label design beautiful. That looks very much old school and like something you'd find on a 78 rpm rather than a mid-sixties r&b record - a lot more fun than contemporary UK Columbia or US MGM. Maybe not the most important features for a collectors item, but enough to make it a keeper. (ÄNÄ*)(MFÄX*)
