The Animals - Animalization (1966/2013) [HDtracks]

Animalization was released in the US in the summer of 1966 and hit the top 20, driven by three singles. The album introduced new Animals drummer Barry Jenkins, who shares drum credits with his predecessor, departing founding member John Steel. Now remastered using transfers from the original first generation mono tapes, this edition includes bonus stereo versions of three songs.
The U.S. version of the British Animalisms album removed the loose jam “Clapping,” and the superb “Squeeze Her – Tease Her” and “That’s All I Am to You” are removed in favor of the hits “Don’t Bring Me Down,” “See See Rider,” and “Inside – Looking Out” — it’s still a great record, if not as cohesive as the U.K. version, and was the last original Animals LP to attract many buyers in the U.S. The song content of both versions has been assembled on Repertoire’s 2000 release of Animalisms.
