The Weekend starts here. That was the invite you got when you tuned in to the best music show in the UK, nay, in the world every Friday evening from August 9, 1963 to December 23, 1966. This LP contains 13 tracks from the Animals on Ready Steady Go, from 1965 and 1966, an interview with Eric Burdon, and 3 tracks from the Richmond Jazz and Blues Festival in August 1965. For the latter occasion the boys had supplemented their stage presence by brass and horn players, and had christened the new ensemble The Animals Big Band. The Big Band “extras” appear again on the opening tracks of this album (Let The Good Times Roll and Talkin’ Bout You) and demonstrate that the experiment worked superbly.
