"Although this CD appears to be the most complete collection of music from Sixties hitmakers Eric Burdon and the Animals, it is comprised of inferior re-recorded versions of their major hits."
Good reinterpretations by original artist

"Although this CD does not contain the original recordings of Eric Burdon & The Animals, it should be appreciated on its own merits. Eric Burdon's voice is nearly as strong as it was on the original recordings. I don't consider any of the tracks on this CD to be duds. Eric Burdon's renderings of the Animals' hits stay close to the originals while differing enough to make the experience interesting. I also cannot find any fault with his backing group on this CD. Again, the arrangements stay close to the originals while not simply trying to parrot them. Re-recordings are often poor substitutes (IMHO) but definitely not in this case. I enjoyed these songs when I bought them in the 60's and still enjoy them today in both their original form as well as their remakes on this CD."
Great re-recordings !

"This is really a very good CD. Not the original recordings, but the best covers Eric made of his own songs. Very good quality."
