THE ANIMALS - Animalisms (Reissue) - LP - Vinyl [FEB 27]

LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl (2026 Secret Records Reissue). 

Animalisms was the third studio album and stands as landmark album that epitomises The Animals' raw, electric energy during a transformative period in music history - As one of the defining records of British R&B, it encapsulates the band's powerful essence just before the original line-up disbanded - Eric Burdon's formidable vocal prowess combined with the band's strong blues and soul influences showcases their departure from the more commercial sound of contemporaneous British pop bands.

The album is a gritty collection of both popular blues standards and lesser-known tracks, demonstrating The Animals' unique blend of R&B and blues-infused rock.

Eric Burdon's Vocals: A soul-stirring delivery that conveys raw emotion and intensity.

Dave Rowberry's Organ: Adding a swirling, psychedelic undercurrent that accentuates the band's sound.

Hilton Valentine's Guitar: Featuring biting riffs that embody the album's fierce energy.

Chas Chandler's Bass: Providing a solid foundation with a driving rhythm.
