The name #theanimals is said to have been used first by local audiences as a reaction to their wild appearance and frenzied stage act. All #newcastle born and bred, the group built up a solid reputation before they were signed by the then-unknown #mickiemost and moved to #london in 1964. #britishrock From “The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock [NEW 1978 edition]” #rockandroll #thesixties #thebritishinvasion https://www.instagram.com/p/CVEeaadLvBQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll: The Animals - #johnsteel #daverowberry #ericburdon #chaschandler and #hiltonvalentine —- Of the original #britishinvasion bands, #theanimals were the most influenced by black American R&B rather than blues. Originally the #alanpricecombo (1958) they became the Animals shortly after the addition of lead vocalist Eric Burdon in 1962. By 1964, under the wing of U.K. producer #mickiemost they had recorded their second single, “House of the Rising Sun,” a #1 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in the summer of 1964. #rockandroll #thesixties #mgmrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7he_klsHc/?igshid=em0jv4ey07z7
