Here we find the Troggs performing follow-up singles Can't Control Myself, which reached number 2 in the UK charts and with a Girl Like You, which went one better and made it to number 1, both massive hits from the band from Andover in Hampshire England. ERIC BURDON - This disc in the series of Beat Beat Beat releases features just one band: Eric Burdon and the New Animals. Eric Burdon had achieved massive worldwide success with the original Animals in 1964. By 1967 the original band had split and Eric, influenced by the new sounds coming out of America's West Coast, formed the New Animals, which were more psychedelically inclined. The band performs five tracks including a cover of the song Morning Dew made famous by Tim Rose. Other songs include Trumpets Blow See See Rider and a harking back to the style of the older Animals with the John D Loudermilk song Tobacco Road and Road Runner. Rarely seen before this footage is not only historical but an amazing document of the times.
