ERIC BURDON/STARPORTRAIT 2619001 (-71) GERMANY

Man with a long well-known carreer in music through various genres with outfits as Animals, Eric Burdon & The Animals, War and solo. This 2-LP box has a compilation of tracks from the "Eric Burdon & The Animals" period, some of them tricky to find on early vinyl today. In just a couple of years he and different settings of the band issued four original psych albums - "Winds Of Change", "The Twain Shall Meet", "Every One Of Us" and "Love Is" - that in my world still stand as some of the best in that genre from the period. Though more or less experimental with many inventive twists and turns there are also good catchy melodies carried by profound backing and top vocals. Most of it with top production while some of the cuts sounds like more or less garage. To me who's already in most of the songs are favourites alredy, but if you're new to them I guarantee a rewarding journey. Far as I can hear all cuts have original mixes and the audio is very good. Originally only issued with same tracking in a couple of European countries, but not UK or US. To my knowledge this German was the only one in a box, also reissued there same way on Polydor 1983 (2679 093) and later on as 2xCD (825 231-2). Premiere German had label as shown here in a steady fully laminated box with a six page pic/info booklet. (GÖXÄ*) (ÄNÄ*)
