Boom Boom The Ultimate Animals (1963-1966) - BOX (8CD + DVD) (Ed. Limitada)

Boom Boom Ultimate Animals 1963-1966» es la retrospectiva más completa de The Animals que se ha publicado hasta la fecha. Compuesta por ocho CD y un DVD, ofrece una inmersión profunda en el breve pero sumamente prolífico periodo de la banda.

Esta exhaustiva colección, que reúne más de 150 temas, incluye joyas inéditas —nunca antes publicadas— junto con la totalidad de sus grabaciones de estudio realizadas entre 1963 y 1966, remasterizadas y reunidas por primera vez en un solo lugar.

El DVD contiene la película «The World Of The Animals», largamente perdida, dirigida por Richard Mordaunt y rodada entre 1965 y 1966 durante sus giras por Estados Unidos y Polonia. Se trata de un valioso documento histórico de la época y una obra de visionado obligatorio para todos los seguidores de The Animals.

El primer CD incluye el álbum debut de la banda, «The Animals», remasterizado y complementado con sencillos (discos de 45 rpm) que no formaron parte de ningún LP; también incorpora las grabaciones de «Graphic Sound» y tres actuaciones inéditas para Radio Luxembourg. El segundo CD presenta su segundo álbum, «Animal Tracks», remasterizado y con temas adicionales, mientras que el tercer CD ofrece una reedición en el Reino Unido —muy esperada— de su tercer LP, «Animalisms», junto con los sencillos de la época que no se incluyeron en el álbum.

Los CD cuatro y cinco presentan, por primera vez en el Reino Unido, las mezclas en mono y estéreo de «Animalism», un material que nunca fue publicado oficialmente por Decca en dicho país debido a la disolución de la banda a finales de 1966.

Los CD seis y siete se centran en las sesiones para la BBC. Con un total de 59 temas, esta colección reúne todas las sesiones de la BBC que han sobrevivido, siendo esta su primera publicación legal. El octavo CD es una recopilación de material adicional procedente de los archivos de Warner, que incluye bases instrumentales y versiones en proceso de creación de canciones ya conocidas.

Además de esta completa colección musical, se incluye una gran cantidad de objetos de colección y fotografías —como artículos de prensa, anuncios, cartas, carteles y folletos—, aportados por el miembro de la banda John Steel y los entusiastas de The Animals, Kim Chester y Ashley Wood. El conjunto se completa con un extenso texto explicativo a cargo de Sean Egan, biógrafo de la banda.
