The 22 tracks on Retrospective deftly chronicle the best years of the Animals, who were far and away the grittiest band in the British Invasion of the mid-1960s. Eric Burdon's magnificently raw vocals and the stabbing chords of Alan Price's Vox Continental organ gave their covers of American blues and R&B classic such as Sam Cooke's 'Bring it on Home' and John Lee Hooker's 'Boom Boom' an authenticity that no other British groups could match. Their rough sound also gave songs like 'Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' and 'We've Got to Get of This Place' a real sense of rage and menace. By 1967 Burdon was the only remaining original member and he formed a new band that eschewed the blues and R&B of his early years in Newcastle in favor of a psychedelic, San Francisco-influenced sound. Songs like 'When I Was Young' showed he had a real gift for the type of personal songwriting that was becoming popular in the late 1960s while the lyrically obscure 'San Franciscan Nights' and 'Sky Pilot' suggested he spent too much time hanging out with hippies. Even when they stumbled, the Animals were interesting, and when they hit the mark, they were as good as any band from the British Invasion. --Michael John Simmons
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - a great colletion of oldies from one artist
I RATE THIS 5STAR FOR ALL THE HITS, AND VARIATION OF SONGS THEY DID. I THINK IF YOU ENJOY A SOUL ROCK SOUND THIS IS FOR YOU. ERIC HAS THE SOUL VOICE THAT FITS ALL THE SOUNDS IN THIS CD.....ENJOY
Rating: - The best overall compilation of Eric Burdon & the Animals
I've picked up most of Eric Burdon's '60s work -- The Twain Must Meet, Every One of Us, etc. -- here and there. Generally, the audio quality was so-so. Not bad, but not great, either. This compilation gets the same audio treatment that the Abkco Rolling Stones got when they were remastered, and the audio quality is uniformly excellent.
I have a small issue with Spill the Wine being listed here, since Eric did that after the Animals were history, with War. Instead, I'd have preferred ... Read More
Rating: - The essential Animals
This is a really good Animals collection with all the original hits and memorable songs.
Rating: - Again...This One's All You Need!
I'm gonna tell you right up front, I'm just a casual fan of the Animals.I am, however, a huge Classic Rock Fan, and being so, I must have at least one Animals disc in my library of music, and this is the one I chose.A friend of mine at work loned me an older "Greatest Hits" disc that after listening to, I took back to him and said "Do You Know this Thing Doesn't Have House of the Rising Sun on it?".He didn't even realize it.Well, after reading the top review by Lawrence M. Bernabo, I knew ... Read More
Rating: - Probably the only Animals album you need
The Animals are one of my favorite bands from the 60's, and this is the only Animals album that I listen to now.It has pretty much every song even a fan would want.It is definetely, in my opinion at least, the best Animals compilation ever made.
