Animal Tracks EP Was released in 1965 in the UK and there was also an album titled Animal Tracks released in the same year which is the second British album by the Animals.




It was released in 1965 and reached #6 on the UK charts.





Produced by Micky Most.




An identically titled album with a different track listing was released in America the same year. But of course this EP was not released in the US.







Track Listing
Side 1.
1."How You've Changed"
2."I Beleive To My Soul"

Side 2.
1."Let The Good Times Roll"
2.Worried Life Blues"




The Animals were an English rock band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne, during the early part of the decade. The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964.





The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No. 1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", "I'm Crying" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part 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, the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic and hard rock band with hits like "San Franciscan Nights", "When I Was Young" and "Sky Pilot", before disbanding at the end of the decade. Altogether, the group had ten Top Twenty hits in both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.





The original lineup of Burdon, Alan Price, Chas Chandler, Hilton Valentine and John Steel reunited for a one off benefit concert in their home city of Newcastle in 1968.





They later had brief comebacks in 1975 and 1983. There have been several partial regroupings of the original era members since then under various names. The Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

The Vinyl
On visual inspection this is of the original heavier and thicker vinyl and more robust than later pressings which are much more flimsier! The vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable. This looks superb, still retaining its original glossy sheen from new. Only in strong light very (very) few surface marks/surface scuffs can possibly be seen caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve.  Importantly, (no) needle scratches that would cause any loud constant clicks or pops very rare to find on a 1965 Animals vinyl after 51 years!!

TheAudio
I have played this vinyl prior to listing on a top system at very loud volume, importantly using a dedicated mono cartridge! The audio is absolutely superbe cristal clear and vibrant throughout! Mega clear and vibrant Mono audio on all frequencies!. There were no distortion, no, loud contant clicks pops or of course any jumps. Note, please allow for isolated static tick that may be heard in some qieter places and at the intros,outros or in between tracks.  Truly awesome and very rare for a 1st pressing.(NO) Signs of groovware at all! This audio is graded Very Near Mint in my opinion!

Hear the audio for yourself in the player above! Actual recording from the vinyl!

PLEASE NOTE! I always add this disclaimer! I have played this album prior to listing as usual and have given my honest opinion on the audio quality. Please remember this is a 51 years old original vinyl (not a reissue) Please allow for the odd isolated static/crackle/ tick that may be heard in some quieter places or at intros, outros or in between tracks. (not) consistant through out the audio, perhapes only heard at intros or quieter places outros etc!,, This would have been originally played on a system that is 51 years old!
All indications i.e. that this vinyl has (not) been overplayed and in fact hardly played are the audio quality superbe on all frequencies and the fact there are barely handful of spider marks only!
 
The labels
This features the Columbia labels. "Sold In The UK......" Text featured across the labels (Only 1st UK Press) "K.T" Tax code is stamped on side2. (Only 1st UK press) "Made In Great Britain" (Only UK Press) These are absolutely superbe with very little spidering (I can barely see just a handful) , little if (no) spindle ware! This vinyl has hardly been played at all at least just a handfull amount of times in my personal opinion!

The Record Cover Sleeve
This is the original 1st Issued laminated froint only , vflipback rear sleeve. Correct for this 1st UK issue.The laminate is super glossy in apearance. Very minor top left corner crease and slight crease at the opening edge, slight, light ring wear impression. (only really noticed if looked for angled to the light in my opinion.  Light marking at the rear with age only. No splits or tears. The original. Note, The vinyl is now always stored separate from the sleeve. This is graded at better than excellent in my opinion.
