In celebration of its 50th Anniversary, The Animals’ The Animals (EP) will be reissued for Record Store Day on April 19th on 45 rpm 10 inch vinyl. The special release is part of a series of EP reissues for ABKCO Records, which earlier released 10 inch vinyl editions of The Animals Is Here and The Animals Are Back for last year’s Record Store Day.

The Animals features their hit songs “Boom Boom” and “Dimples” from the John Lee Hooker canon, a rocking rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Around And Around” and the band’s take on Fats Domino’s “I’ve Been Around.”

The Animals own Eric Burdon, has confirmed that he’ll do an in store appearance at Sweat Records, 5505 NE 2nd Ave. in Miami at 11 AM on the 19th in recognition of Record Store Day. Burdon’s most recent ABKCO album release is the critically acclaimed “Til Your River Runs Dry.  He will be signing copies of that album as well as ABKCO’s special RSD issue of The Animals (EP).
