Formed in 1966 by Eric Burdon after the break-up of the "original" Animals (see The Animals). Some of the early tracks credited to Eric Burdon & The Animals had actually been recorded by The Animals (including "Don't Bring Me Down", "See See Rider", "She'll Return it"). Also known as Eric Burdon & The New Animals.
During the months after Eric Burdon and the remaining members of the original Animals split, the singer cut this album backed by an orchestra and doing songs by Randy Newman, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and other pop-music fixtures -- quite a turnaround for the blues purist Burdon, and also very effective as mainstream pop music, including the U.S. hit "Help Me Girl." To add to the general confusion surrounding this material, some of it seems to have been recorded with the original Animals, or at sessions conducted while they were still together. Several songs, including "Help Me Girl," show up on Sequel Records' Inside Looking Out.
