Story & Background
In an era of profound musical transformations and inevitable splits, 1967 saw the birth of "Eric is Here", an album which, despite being credited to "Eric Burdon & the Animals", actually represents the debut of a completely revamped line-up. Following the implosion of the Animals' historic core, Burdon found himself facing the challenge of reinventing himself. This first pressing of the LP captures the exact moment when Eric, as the sole remaining original member, surrounded himself with new musicians (John Weider, Vic Briggs, Danny McCulloch, Barry Jenkins), giving rise to what would soon be defined as the "New Animals". The album is a programmatic manifesto, a strong and clear declaration from its leader: "Eric è qui", ready to navigate the waves of psychedelia and guide the band towards unexplored sonic territories, well beyond their original blues-rock. It is a cornerstone in Burdon's history, a crucial bridge towards his subsequent and adventurous career.
