Most fans of Eric Burdon and the Animals would rate their performances from the year 1964-1966 as the best, with songs such as "House of the Rising Sun", "Boom, Boom", etc. serving as the standards by which future Animals material should be judged. However, some of the most interesting recordings took place during the time period covered on this CD, 1966-1968……..

This may seem like a strange way to listen to a group's legacy, 42 songs on 11 CD platters in a box. It is a bit pricey, as well, but going up four songs at a time with the Animals sort of makes sense, at least as far as distilling down their most successful and interesting work. The group never quite got the hang of making successful albums; that doesn't mean that they didn't do some very good ones, including their two for EMI, but their 12" platter sales never remotely matched the popularity of their nine hit singles from 1964 through 1966. Their EPs were a different matter - while the group strained in the studio to assemble 40 minutes of attractive listening, their songs made great four-track platters. In England, they issued five extended-play singles, while in France the group saw twice that many issued in their name, both by EMI Records and the Barclay label…

UK collection from the North London mod act led by duo Frank Aiello and Steve Jameson, the latter a Stamford Hill mod alongside Marc Bolan. The band was managed from 1966 by David Nicolson and Ken Pitt, who also had David Bowie in the stable of artists. Tracks benefitted from fine collaborators including arranger Johnny Harris, musicians Alan Price and Mitch Mitchell on 'Jailer Bring Me Water', Big Jim Sullivan on several tracks including the double electric guitar parts on 'Old Ma Brown', and Jimmy Page on 'Sueno' and 'I Can't Make It Alone'. Further standout tracks include the driving and punchy 'Who's Wrong', the high octane version of 'Hey Gyp', and the mod club rocker 'Baby You Got It'. Sleeve notes include new interviews with Jameson, Aiello and Nicolson and photos from their archives. Frank Aiello later joined Cozy Powell to form Bedlam in the '70s, at which time Steve Jameson scored a Northern Soul hit as Nosmo King before switching to a long career in comedy.

This compilation, the first ever on compact disc in America, features the best of Donovan's early landmark work including his first single Catch The Wind and classic tracks such as Colours and Turquoise; successful protest songs such as Universal Soldier and tracks from his first two British albums "What's Bin Hid and What's Bin Did" and "Fairytale." Although these records did feature the occasional sideman, it was mostly just Don, singing some of his most poignant and expressive songs while interpreting favorites by other writers such as Bert Jansch and Buffy St, Marie.
In later years Donovan adapted his style to explore the psychedelic revolution but these early simple songs are considered to be among his best…

One of the most important bands originating from England's R&B scene during the early '60s, the Animals were second only to the Rolling Stones in influence among R&B-based bands in the first wave of the British Invasion. The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s and suffered from poor business management. Under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals, they moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic rock band, before disbanding at the end of the decade.

This single-CD compilation – issued in 1998 from the Australian-based Raven Records – gathers 23 tracks from Scottish pop folky Donovan. While this was not the first, it may well – as its title implies – be the most essential for both collectors and casual fans alike. With a total running time that clocks in at over 78 minutes, the track list has room to include both hits as well as deeper album tracks and rarities from both Donovan's earliest recordings for Pye (1965-1966) as well as his later work on Epic (1967-1973). …
