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, and it's why we rate the record 2 stars (our highest recommendation). Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and pristine Mint vinyl and audio. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
