Hmmm, dave c ... never really thought of the Animals, or Eric Burdon, as having a psychedelic phase. However, in terms of retrospectives, I have 2: the well known SACD, and a more obscure 1999 CD on a German label, Digimode Entertainment, a.k.a. "Brilliant Records." The title of this CD is "ERIC BURDON Greatest Hits." The vintage of the recordings is much later than the SACD, circa 1998; few details are offered regarding the musicians and dates and places of the recordings. In fact, the liner notes mention merely that the performances were "recorded recently." I bought it off a discount rack for $5.99 and wasn't expecting much. But this recording is superior to the SACD, mainly because of its later vintage, I believe. I would have to aver, even further, that it is one of the best rock recordings in my collection. If you can find it, I'd recommend it. Burdon is in exremely fine form, and, whoever the musicians are, they are cookin' with gas (yet, they are meticulously faithful to the original arrangements). Here are the tracks (titles abbreviated):Rising Sun
