Aw shit, just found this photo of my dearly departed friend Paula O’Rourke with my wife & I after her gig with Eric Burdon at BB King Blues Club in NYC. I got very close with Paula when we were both playing with Eric around 2008…she passed away a few months ago in San Francisco.

Album Number One Hundred Seventy Three “The Greatest Hits of Eric Burdon and The Animals” was the group's compilation representing the Animals' last three lineups, and showcased their venture into psychedelic rock. It was released in March 1969 in the US but never put out in the United Kingdom; it was the last album #mgmrecords would release in (more or less) the group's lifetime. Despite containing three tracks that had been US Top 15 singles, the collection was not commercially successful, placing only at number 153 on the Billboard 200. My copy is a #polydorrecords reissue - SE-4602, of the original MGM release. #ericburdon #sixtiesmusic #ericburdonandtheanimals #theanimalsband https://www.instagram.com/p/CVaYMC4L2rW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Album Number One Hundred Seventy “Winds of Change” is the debut album by #ericburdonandtheanimals released in October 1967. My copy is a gatefold on #mgmrecords - E-4484 (Oddly enough, I have a Reprise Records album sleeve that looks as old as the album.) The original band, #theanimals broke up in 1966 and this band was entirely new except for lead singer #ericburdon and drummer #barryjenkins , who joined the original lineup when #johnsteel left in February 1966. With the new band, featuring guitarist #vicbriggs bassist #dannymcculloch and electric violinist #johnweider , Burdon began to move from the gritty blues sound of the original mid-1960s group into psychedelic music. The album is the first to feature nearly entirely original material, written by Eric Burdon and band members, and involving equal songwriting credit. This practice would continue with the following album, The Twain Shall Meet, and was then discontinued. #rockandroll #britishinvasion #thesixties #sixtiesmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQMWPbrSvB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monday Night Bonus Album “The Twain Shall Meet” is the second album by Eric Burdon & the Animals. It was released in 1968 on MGM Records. My copy is #mgmrecords - SE-4537. The record includes "Sky Pilot", an anti-war song of the Vietnam War era, and "Monterey", the band's tribute to the 1967 #montereypopfestival . Reviewer Bruce Eder of Allmusic describes the song "All Is One" as "unique in the history of pop music as a psychedelic piece, mixing bagpipes, sitar, oboes, horns, flutes, and a fairly idiotic lyric, all within the framework of a piece that picks up its tempo like the dance music from Zorba the Greek while mimicking the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'". #rockandroll #ericburdonandtheanimals #ericburdon #thesixties #skypilothowhighcanyoufly https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_y8sLrPyP/?utm_medium=tumblr
