"Every One Of Us" - Eric Burdon & The Animals (1968)
The album definitely has a smidge of ringwear front and back. And by smidge, I mean, gangster whitewalls. There are no seam splits, but the darker album covers always seem to bring out the worst. I would've left it behind, but the vinyl looked almost minty. Played VG+ or better when I got it home. And the songs are pretty good. The music has a nice psychedelic dusting about it. There are some jammin' fuzz burns and jazz flourishes. A little experimental here and there, for sure, but overall, "Every One Of Us" is more acoustically driven than I expected.
As I said, the music sounds fine, but there are a couple of songs with spoken interludes in the middle. And even that's not bad, the first couple of times you spin it. Then it starts to wear out its welcome. For me, anyway. You'll want to pick it up for the song… "Year Of The Guru"...and, but for the aforementioned interludes, the rest of the tracks hold up pretty strong. This was to be the second of three albums Eric Burdon & the Animals would release in 1968. I'm still looking for a nice copy of their "Love Is" album.
