Looking Out For #1

This 22-song compilation features all of the essential recordings cut by the group in 1965 and 1966 after they broke with their original producer Mickie Most, and before Eric Burdon dissolved the core of the original lineup to pursue solo stardom with an Animals group featuring entirely different musicians. These tracks were perhaps more soul-oriented than their previous recordings, but the group still burns on the hits "Inside Looking Out" and "Don't Bring Me Down." Despite the absence of original keyboardist Alan Price, the group continued to showcase Burdon's passionate vocals and burning, vibrant organ (by Price's replacement Dave Rowberry) on both renowned and obscure R&B tunes, with an occasional original thrown in. Besides the entirety of their final British LP Animalisms (from 1966) and the above-mentioned singles, the CD includes the hits "Help Me Girl" and "See See Rider" (credited to "Eric Burdon and the Animals," these were possibly Burdon solo records). The four tracks from their first release, an independently released 1963 EP featuring primitive R&B standards, are small but noteworthy bonus cuts that close this collection.

This work is hot R&B and wild jazz. The opening cut is clearly the beginning of a tribute to the talent of the late, great Phyllis Hyman. McCoy is burning on the ivories to accompany her vocal. True musical inspiration! Basically this work is McCoy's tribute to the jazz/R&B industry of the early 1980's. That being said anyone who loved the Philly Sound of the early 80's will surely enjoy this work.

Available together for the first time ever - the hits of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive - woven together with some highly entertaining stories by the man behind the music - Randy Bachman. Over a dozen top 10 hits performed by Bachman and his band during a live "unplugged" concert set, recorded in Vancouver in April 2002. The arrangements are hot and the stories behind the songs are absorbing as Randy tells the often-humorous anecdotes behind some of the biggest pop music hits of the last 30 years. Tracks include: No Sugar Tonight, Undun, Let it Ride, These Eyes, Laughing, Four Wheel Drive, No Time, American Woman, Hey You, Looking out for #1, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, Takin Care of Business, Shakin All Over.
