{"title":"The Animals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Animals were part of the budding, homegrown U.K. blues scene of the early Sixties and one of the most noteworthy bands of the British Invasion. Formed in Newcastle-on-Tyne, a port city and coal-mining hub in northeast England, the Animals reflected their upbringing with brawling, blues-based rock and roll. The group derived its inspiration—and much of its early repertoire—from American blues and R\u0026amp;B sources, adapting them to their native British working-class sensibility. Eric Burdon was among the best white R\u0026amp;B singers of the Sixties. His gruff, soulful vocals brought out the anguish in such anthems as \"It's My Life\" and \"We Gotta Get Out of This Place.\" The band's sound was also heavily defined by Alan Price's organ playing, which provided dramatic accents and a blues-jazz atmosphere. The other founding members—guitarist Hilton Valentine, bassist Chas Chandler and drummer John Steel—balanced Burdon's earthiness and Price's melodic finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sky-pilot-part-one-part-two","title":"Sky Pilot (Part One)\/ (Part Two)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCredited to 'Eric Burdon and the Animals.', this is  beautiful Near Mint copy in its factory sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Animals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48512790233321,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/8508\/9001\/files\/Classic45s-Generic-Record_8e458bd7-4031-47d7-9ebe-b8a65573c88c.webp?v=1750737173"},{"product_id":"sky-pilot-2","title":"Sky Pilot \/ White Houses","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on MGM 13939.

This original release has a dramatically shorter version than the album cut, which clocks in at about 4 1\/2 minutes. To keep the single under the magic 3-minute limit, the company edited out most of the instrumental middle and faded out the ending. The end result? 2:58. This is the version fans heard in 1964, which became a #1 hit for the group. But to modern ears accustomed to the long version, it's a bit shocking to hear. And don't forget what a great B side this one has! Note: The labels grade Near Mint with a small numbered sticker on the A side. The vinyl looks only lightly touched, but the A side audio has some notable surface noise during the intro. The B side audio is a solid Near Mint.
