Deluxe box set including all Eric Burdon & The Animals classics, including the albums “Winds Of Change”, “The Twain Shall Meet”, “Every One Of Us”, “Love Is” and the rare mono version of “Winds Of Change” / All remastered from the original tapes / With 10 bonus tracks from singles releases / Includes illustrated booklet, new liner notes and a poster.

The new box set features all of Eric Burdon & The Animals’ recordings for MGM Records from October 1967 to December 1968.

Eric Burdon & The Animals came along in December 1966 when the original Animals disbanded. Singer Eric Burdon recruited Vic Briggs (guitar, piano), John Weider (guitar, violin, bass), Danny McCulloch (bass) and Barry Jenkins (drums) to form a new band that developed their musical direction away from furious rhythm and blues towards psychedelic rock.

They signed to MGM Records in the USA and recruited Tom Wilson (Bob Dylan, The Mothers Of Invention, The Velvet Underground) as producer. 1 ½ years later, the band’s final album was released. Eric Burdon stayed in the USA and joined the band War in 1969.
