CD Reviews

Disappointing.

"I pre-ordered this CD under the title "Animalism" which was billed as a remastered version of the 1966 original. I was disapointed when I received the "Animalisms" version. I owned the original "Animalism" back when it was first released and loved it. It has long since been worn out and lost from my collection. This compilation has left out "Smoke Stack Lightning", "Hey Gyp", "Hit The Road Jack", and maybe others I can't recall. Although this disc does have some great Animals material, I find the quality of the remastering poor at best. It sounds like a basement recording, too much echo and no definition of Chas Chandler's base. Bonus tracks seem to be tossed in as compensation for lack of audio quality. This disc is OK if you have no other alternatives. I'm still hoping for a release of the REAL Animalism set."
Great disc, confusing title

"There appears to be lots of confusion regarding the contents of this cd, so let's unravel the mess once and for all: The Animals' first Decca LP, released in the U.K. in 1966, was titled "Animalisms" (note the letter "s" at the end). Several months later a modified version of the LP called "Animalization" was released in the U.S., which dropped several tracks and added Don't Bring Me Down, See See Rider and Inside Looking Out. To add to the confusion, an LP of completely different material entitled "Animalism" (no "s" on the end) was also released in America in 1966 (but not the U.K.). This reissue on the excellent German label Repertoire contains all of the songs found on Animalisms and Animalization plus a handful of bonus tracks but none of the material from Animalism (look for the vinyl if you can find it). Contrary to the assertion of one reviewer, the sound quality on this release is generally excellent given the quality of the original recordings. I hope this information was useful. Buy it and enjoy!"
What a pity !

"Having worn out my vinyl copy of Animalisms, the Animals third album, the first beeing "The Animals" and the second "Animals Tracks, I bought the cd on the Repertoire label and it easily qualifies as the worst remastering job I've heard so far.

The original punchy sound with excellent bass and good high

definition is degraded to a muddy sound that sound like beeing re-recorded in a bathman PLUS that someone put some strange extra ECHO on the tracks. A complete failure ! Repertoire should fire the engineer and give it another try- thank God I have the original on tape - in stereo !
