The Animals - Animalization (1966)

Animalization is The Animals fourth US full length release. The UK version, Animalisms had a slightly different track list & shouldn't be confused with Animalism, their fifth release. It's like they were trying to make it hard to keep track of everything. The album is a great collection of blues-inspired Animals songs, from the classic organ riffs in their hit, Don't Bring Me Down, to the chanting in Cheating. She'll Return It is sort of hidden on side one & isn't mentioned on the sleeve. The real winners are the B-side covers. From the classic See See Rider, to Chuck Berry's. Sweet Little Sixteen. Who can overlook Burdon's hollerin' version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins hit, I Put A Spell On You. Really good stuff.
