When I Was Young/ A Girl Named Sandoz

Credited to "Eric Burdon & The Animals," this is the group's finest foray into Psychedelic Rock. Every time I hear the opening guitar growl, it's obvious where Black Sabbath got the inspiration for the similar opening growl to "Iron Man." The big mystery to me is why Dave Marsh left it off his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n'Soul. It would definitely be on my list (if I ever make one!) For one thing, this is a single that was not included on any contemporary Animals album — this was a previously unreleased, non-LP single. The two sides eventually got added to an Animals compilation CD, but you won't find them anywhere on vinyl (to my knowledge) except on this little 45 record. (And may I say how incredible the audio is? Stunning doesn't come close!) Note: This beautiful promo copy comes in a vintage MGM factory sleeve. It has Mint-looking labels, nearly untouched-looking vinyl, and pristine Mint sound.
