ERIC BURDON AND THE ANIMALS/LOVE IS C-8105 (-69) UK MONO

Last album before the groups final break-up, mostly consisting of re-made/extended covers. The original US 2-LP set (MGM SE-4591-2) had a one side medley with songs from Andy Summers and Zoot Money's former group Dantalians Chariot and an earlier Albert King hit "As The Years Goes Passing By" - not included on the UK one LP release. So this comes through more as a pop cover album, somewhat uneven but with at least two top numbers - "River Deep Moutain High" and "Ring Of Fire". The mono sounds OK and may be from US tapes - I've seen catalog numbers of a US mono, not sure if that was for promo or stock release. A single edit of "Ring Of Fire" reached #35 on the UK list, but the album didn't sell at all in England. The public there still wanted the old fashioned r&b Animals and didn't go for the pop/psych style. UK double album re-issue 1973 om MGM (2619 002). First with label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (ÄNÄ*)(YMÖ*)
