A's, B's & EP's Review by Bruce Eder
The Animals' output on EMI has been so heavily reissued and recompiled so many times that none of it is especially rare, or notable for that reason – it just stands up as music, especially the singles, which are what we have represented here. The compilation CD A's B's & EP's is a handy way of taking a tour of the group's early sound, up through the middle of 1965, boiling down their singles, B-sides, and EP's in excellent sound. It took the group a few tries to really master the art of making a strong album from start to finish, but – as we're reminded here – their 45s were beyond reproach, exciting, bold, and daring, and all memorable.
