Story & Background
This "ANIMAL TRACKS" from 1965 on Columbia, as a 1ST pressing, is a fundamental discographic artefact that embodies the complex dynamics of the transatlantic music market of the 1960s. While in the United Kingdom it represented their third original album, a coherent collection of blues and R&B, the eponymous American version released by MGM was a totally different compilation, often confused by collectors. The UK version, which you own, included key tracks such as "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", a track that in the United States curiously ended up on a subsequent album, "Animalization". This discrepancy not only created perplexity among fans on both sides of the Atlantic, but also testified to the aggressive strategies of record labels which often assembled different albums to maximise local sales, making every national first pressing a historical and discographic unicum of considerable interest to the collector.
