The ‘60s are hard to explain sometimes. There was all that excitement and revolutionary change, and at the same time, there was the embrace of weird “old-timey” stuff and non-ironic backsliding. And as the...

The Animals – The Animals (10″ EP)
This one’s really just a novelty. As a 10” 45 RPM EP, it was apparently released in the UK, New Zealand and Australia in 1964, but never in the US until this Record Store...

The Animals – The Best of The Animals
