Title: Eric Burdon & The Animals – Eric Is Here
Year/Genre/City: 1967, Classic Rock, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Matrix #: E4433
Condition: G+ (has one skip; plays through with surface noise)

Cultural Facts:

1. Band Drama: After the original Animals splintered, Burdon rebuilt around a new lineup while the name carried different weight in different markets.

2. Studio Lore: Cut in Los Angeles with producer Mickie Most and major session-player support—closer to a studio-led project than a road-tested band document.

3. Media Narrative: Seen as his pivot from “British R&B frontman” into the late-’60s U.S. counterculture orbit, setting up the next reinvention phase.
