In 1965, there were
two types of group in the UK: those influenced strongly by the Beatles, and
those whose raison d'être was American blues and R&B. In part this split
would have come about because of the pioneering blues work from Alexis Korner
and Cyril Davies, who were both London based. Newcastle’s Animals and Belfast’s
Them were the two biggest exceptions.
Among the highlights of this album are the Animals’ contributions to a Granada
TV show “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”. Check out the clip on the net - the
camera sweeps across and Eric kicks into the a cappella intro to “Talkin’ ‘Bout
You” supported only by hand clapping; there’s a flourish from Alan Price’s Vox
and they’re off.
Elsewhere the boys
conjure up images of people like Pinetop Perkins via Ray Charles’ early classic
“Mess Around”; they give us their take on the much recorded “See See Rider”
which doesn’t owe a debt to anyone; and they deliver a swinging ”I Got To Find
My Baby” with plenty of ad hoc extras from Eric. Several of those great hit
singles (plus a flip plus some LP tracks) are here too, all benefitting from
full “road testing”; Hooker’s “Boom Boom” is a stand -out with mood switching
between intimacy and all out rocking.
Round about the time the Animals‘ first single was released, I saw the band
perform in one of those Central London clubs you have to go downstairs to
reach. They were the toughest of the British R&B Groups. They were the real
thing. Dave
