Released in November 1966 by MGM Records, 'Animalism' (not to be confused with the group's earlier UK-issued 'Animalismus'or its American counterpart, 'Animalization') was only ever issued in America, and came out after the group split-up and thus remained almost totally unnoticed. Recorded in 1966, the album proved to be a glorious musical high point, as well as an end point for the band. All of the members had begun growing in their musicianship and developing a distinctive sound, especially guitarist Hilton Valentine and keyboardist Dave Rowberry. In addition the young Frank Zappa arranged (and almost certainly played on) two tracks. This CD edition has been carefully mastered from the original MONO (and way superior to the stereo) vinyl. Includes 11 bonus tracks.
