Great all around copy! INCLUDES CLEAN VINYL !

For whatever reason, besies being a great album, it's one of the hardest of ALL Animals albums to find, especially with clean vinyl, like this! 

Includes the hard to find "SAN FRANCISCO NIGHTS" STICKER ON FRONT COVER....

Original 1967 (( STEREO )) VINYL first pressing in thick gatefold, hard to find clean, well, it was a popular 'head' album back 40 years ago, so most found copies are worn out -- here's one well preserved...dig the heady psych grooves embedded within these tunes, lovely stuff, yeah?

The Winds Of Change are definitely afoot in the sound of The Animals -- as the album's one of their most psychedelic outings ever -- and also a bit heavy at times too! Production by Tom Wilson is really great -- echoey at most moments, with a kind of "flash" and shimmer around the drums that really spaces things out, and almost gives a Velvets sort of feel to the proceedings. The group's bluesier roots are still in place at times -- but these have also been tripped-out and abstracted too, in modes that are a few years ahead of other blues rock combos on the rise ...this album is certainly not for everyone, as it wasn't in 1967 when it came out, it has much to offer and loaded with cool sound effects -- most importantly, the musicianship on this album is top notch. John Weider and the very unsung Vic Briggs were actually pretty talented.

As for the content of this album, there are over the top moments, and the flow of track to track is what makes it a joy for repeat listens. The trippy letter of love to the people and city of San Francisco ("San Francisco Nights") was a big radio hit in '67 ... A French horn mournfully wails as Eric Burdon delivers his finest vocal performance within webs of sitar on the title track, "Winds of Change" ... Other highlights include "Yes I am Experienced" an answer to Jimi Hendrix first album -- with appealing free form freakout guitar flashes & Burdon's wailing vocals ... plus, the infectious UK 45 release "Anything" (beautiful stuff). Then of course, "It's All Meat" a riviting fuzz-psych rocker. All told the album is solid, an excellent Lp by one of the greatest voices in rock, and the all important backing band in splendid form too!
