"The Animals" is the self-titled American debut album from the British invasion group, The Animals. Released in late summer 1964, the album introduced the States to the "drawling, dirty R&B sound (with the emphasis on the B)" [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:5hq3g4sptv6z allmusic ((( The Animals [US > Overview ))) ] ] that typified the group. The album featured many R&B standards, written by the likes of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and John Lee Hooker, as well as the classic number one hit single "House of the Rising Sun", here presented in its truncated-for-radio form (it would be restored to full length on the February 1966 compilation "The Best of The Animals").

The British album "The Animals" was released a month later, the group's debut album there albeit with substantially differing contents.
