The Price to Play

(Reissue) 'Tracks 13 to 24 are bonus tracks.
As the organist in the first Animals lineup, Alan Price was perhaps the most important instrumental contributor to their early run of hits. He left the group in 1965 after only a year or so of international success (he can be seen talking about his departure with Bob Dylan in the rockumentary Don't Look Back) to work on a solo career. Leading the Alan Price Set, he had a Top Ten British hit in 1966 with a reworking of 'I Put a Spell on You,' complete with Animals -ish organ breaks and bluesy vocals. The CD reissue on Repertoire doubles the length of the original LP by adding 12 bonus tracks from 1965-67 singles, including the brilliant British hit 'I Put a Spell on You.'!'[discogs]
