Swedish only compilation of eleven UK non-LP tracks. All original 45 mono mixes as they were with top audio. The first UK compilation by the band "The Most Of The Animals" - https://monolover.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-animalsthe-most-of-animals-sx-6035.html - came one year later and had cuts not yet released when this arrived. Eight of the songs coincides, while "Club A-Go-Go", "I Can't Believe It" and "Take It Easy" only appeared on this. The audio of the common tracks are almost identical between the issues, though sensitive ears may conceive this as a tiny bit clearer. The Americans had their own Animal agenda with separate albums, versions and edits making a brief collation impossible, but the one with closest tracking would be "The Best Of The Animals" (MGM E/SE 4324). I guess many prefer the UK 1966 issue and just see this as a complement. To me it's more than that - the timing, tracking, audio and sleeve design makes it valuable by own means. 1967 re-issue on HMV (SGLP 530) came with different band pics on sleeve. First had label as shown here, thick vinyl and thin, fully laminated cover with Swedish discography on rear. (ÄNÄ*) (SWÄU*) (PÖP*) (CCÖ*)
