-- Eric Burdon & The Animals recorded their debut disc "Young Memories/My Sands" in December 1966, and before its release, they began recording sessions at TTG Studios in Los Angeles in March 1967. [Winds of Change], released in September and October in the UK and the US, respectively, is a compilation of the results of these TTG sessions. Like the three albums that followed, this one did not sell particularly well in the UK, but it did well, reaching 42nd place in the US LP chart. Burdon, who visited Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco in 1966, was strongly influenced by the West Coast groups, beginning with Jefferson Airplane, and since then, he has been deeply inclined towards the hippie movement. This album directly reflects Burdon's change, and is filled with tracks that incorporate adventurous attempts unique to this era, such as the title track ①, which spells out the history of pop music with a psychedelic sound that also features an impressive sitar sound (the British psychedelic rock band Accent, which left a wonderful cover version produced by Mike Vernon). There are some songs where Burdon's enthusiasm is in vain, such as the tribute number ⑤ to Jimi Hendrix, who is inseparable from Burdon, but there are also many songs with universal appeal, such as ⑨, which reminds us that The Animals are a British band, and ⑩, a masterpiece that impresses the compositional talent of the band's main composer, John Weider. Burdon's rich vocals, heard in ⑩ and San Francisco Anthem ⑥, which was a top 10 hit in both the UK and the US, are also undoubtedly wonderful. Of the six bonus tracks, ⑫, ⑭, ⑯, and ⑰ are single versions included in the main album. ⑬, which features Burdon's best vocals, was recorded in May 1967 for the film 'Stranger in the House' (released in the US under the title 'Copout') by Burdon (lyrics) and Briggs (music), and is the B-side of ⑫, which was a top 20 hit in the UK. ⑮ (the title is, needless to say, a reference to the Grateful Dead) was recorded in September 1967. This was also the B-side of ⑭, which was released as a single in the UK. All six bonus tracks are unified in mono mix. 』

『The second album, released in the US in March 1968 and in the UK in May. Perhaps because it was released six months after the previous album, it only ranked 79th in the US charts, but it is a complete departure from the previous album, which showed signs of trial and error, and features a lineup of meticulously arranged tracks. As with the previous album and the two following albums, the recording studio was TTG Studios, but the use of the newly introduced 8-track recorder was also effective, and the sound has become much thicker, and the decoration of the brass instruments, which was added without being too much, also improves the quality of the album. Tom Wilson, who is famous for his work with Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel, is credited as producer. Wilson, who has been working with Burdon since "Animalism," was just in the studio, but it was Briggs who actually had the authority on site. Most would agree that the highlights of this album are track ①, which pays tribute to the Monterey Pop Festival and its fellow performers, and the anti-war song ⑥, which has an impressive, inventive sound (both of which were top 20 hits in the US), but tracks ② and ⑤, which feature Danny McCulloch on lead vocals, are also noteworthy. The former, which features effective backing vocals from Burdon, and the latter, which was praised by Jimi Hendrix, are both eccentric pieces that seem to have been written under the influence of drugs, but their melancholic moods are irresistible. During the recording of Twain Shall Meet, the band also completed another original number sung by McCulloch, ``Mirror of the Sky,'' which was used on McCulloch's solo album ``Wings of a Man'' (1969), which also included a remake of track ⑤. Of the bonus tracks, tracks ⑨ and ⑩ are edited versions of track ⑥, which is over 7 minutes long. 10 is also an edited version for a single. All three songs are mono. '
