Eric Burdon & The Animals arrived in December 1966, when the original Animals disbanded. Singer Eric Burdon recruited Vic Briggs (guitar, piano), John Weider (guitar, violin, bass), Danny McCulloch (bass) and Barry Jenkins (drums) to form a new band that developed its musical direction away from angry rhythm and blues and towards psychedelic rock.

They signed with MGM Records in the USA and won Tom Wilson (Bob Dylan, The Mothers Of Invention, The Velvet Underground) as producer. 1 ½ Years later the final album of the band was released. Eric Burdon stayed in the USA and joined the band War in 1969.
