Story & Background
Ah, *Animalism* from 1966 on DECCA, a first pressing is a true gem for a collector! This edition captures a crucial transitional moment for the original Animals, just before their fragmentation and subsequent reformation. A fascinating curiosity about this record is the uncredited presence on the original cover of a young and then relatively unknown Frank Zappa. It seems incredible, but Zappa lent his guitar talent in the studio for the tracks "All Night Long" and "The Other Side of This Life". His participation was requested by producer Tom Wilson, who had already worked with Zappa, and added a touch of eccentric genius to an already powerful blues-rock sound. This makes the search for a first pressing even more rewarding, knowing you own a piece of musical history where two seemingly distant sonic worlds fleetingly intersected, leaving an indelible mark.
