The Animals / Boom Boom The Ultimate Animals 1963-1966

Boom Boom The Ultimate Animals 1963-1966 is a new Animals retrospective that brings together all their 1963-1966 studio recordings with newly unearthed gems.

The 8CD+DVD set contains over 150 tracks and also includes, on the DVD, The World Of The Animals directed by Richard Mordaunt, which was filmed in 1965/66 during tours of the US and Poland.

The first CD features the band’s debut album, The Animals (remastered) with non-album tracks and previously unreleased Radio Luxembourg performances. CD 2 is the second album, Animal Tracks (remastered) with 13 bonus tracks while CD 3 is the third UK album, Animalisms (again with bonus tracks).

Animalism (no ‘s’) was a US album and features on CD 4 and 5 in mono and stereo versions, respectively. CDs 6 and 7 feature “all of the known surviving BBC sessions“, a total of 59 tracks in total and CD 8 is a collection of bonus tracks from the Warner vaults that includes instrumental backing tracks and work in progress versions of familiar songs.

This new box set comes with a book that includes “extensive” sleeve notes from Animals biographer Sean Egan along with rare photos and images of memorabilia.

Boom Boom The Ultimate Animals 1963-1966 will be released on 4 December 2026 via Parlophone.
