4.0 out of 5 stars Sky Pilot is an awesome track, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Of Eric Burdon & The Animals, 1966-1968 (Audio CD)

This CD is worth having just for the track SKY PILOT, which is an incredible musical composition. Don't be confused: Sky Pilot is military slang for a chaplain, and this the song is really an anti-war statement. The story is that Eric Burdon wrote this song based on his grandfather's recollections of World War I. Sky Pilot didn't get much radio air play back in the '60's, because it is quite intense, and runs over 7 minutes.

The CD also has "San Francisco", and other great tracks.

By the way, don't buy the other Best of Eric Burdon and the Animals CD, even though it's cheaper. They remastered and messed up some tracks on it.

4.0 out of 5 stars used to be 5 stars, April 28, 2000

The version of "Monterey" on this disc is the edited version.The mastering is wildly uneven. I must direct you to the far superior 41 track "Story Of The Animals". It covers all the singles from their beginning to their end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff -- but not the complete story, April 10, 1999

By A Customer

A lot of great tunes are on this CD. "Don't bring me down" just revs me up every time I hear it. What a great song. However, if you just get this, you are missing a lot of the earlier classic Animals tunes. No Animals collection is complete without tunes like "House of the Rising Sun," "It's My Life," "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place," and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood." Pick up the Abkco collection for those songs.
