Artist:  The Animals

Title:  In the Beginning

Notes:  According to the liner notes, this album was recorded live on December 30, 1963, just a week before Sonny Boy would pass on.  It also states that this was the first ever recording for the Animals.  Recording quality is kind of noisy, but still worth a listen or two.  This had to be the dream of every young white guitar player in England at the time, to play behind a true legend.

Line Up:

Eric Burdon
Sonny Boy Williamson
Alan Price
Bryan Chandler
Hilton Valentine
John Steel
