{"product_id":"the-animals-retrospective-2lp-orange","title":"The Animals - Retrospective [2LP Orange]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Animals' Retrospective spreads the Newcastle band's greatest moments across two limited edition orange LPs, from British Invasion grit to late-sixties psychedelia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew groups of the era sounded as raw. Eric Burdon's voice carried a bluesy roar that made him sound decades older than he was, and Alan Price's organ gave the early singles a churchy, smoky edge. Later, as Eric Burdon \u0026amp; The Animals, the lineup chased the counterculture to the West Coast and came back with something entirely different.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHouse of the Rising Sun is the obvious starting point, an old folk song turned into a haunting, organ-swept epic. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood brings brooding pop drama, We Gotta Get Out of This Place became an anthem of escape for a generation, and It's My Life snarls with working-class defiance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe later material shifts into psychedelic territory, with longer arrangements and a dreamier glow that shows how quickly the band evolved in just a few short years. Burdon's voice, rougher and wiser by then, holds it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGathered in one place and pressed in bright orange, it is a vivid crash course in one of the most important bands of the British Invasion, and a reminder of how much ground they covered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453138805041,"sku":"018771997412","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/The_Animals-Retrospective_2LP_Orange.jpg?v=1794228535","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-animals-retrospective-2lp-orange","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
