The Animals "Animalization" 1966

Rocks so much harder than it's English counterpart, Animalisms, thanks to the inclusion of the phenomenal single "Don't Bring Me Down," a cover of John Lee Hooker's "Maudie," and a few other rougher-edged selections. - Kenneth Bridgham
The U.S. version of the British Animalisms album removed the loose jam "Clapping," and the superb "Squeeze Her - Tease Her" and "That's All I Am to You" are removed in favor of the hits "Don't Bring Me Down," "See See Rider," and "Inside - Looking Out" -- it's still a great record, if not as cohesive as the U.K. version, and was the last original Animals LP to attract many buyers in the U.S. The song content of both versions has been assembled on Repertoire's 2000 release of Animalisms. - Review by Bruce Eder

For my money, this is one of the best elpees of all time. I bought it when it came out and I still listen to now. In my top ten.
