"The Greatest Hits of Eric Burdon and The Animals" was the group's compilation representing The Animals' last three lineups, and showcased their venture into psychedelic rock. It was released in March 1969 in the United States, but never put out in the United Kingdom; it was the last album MGM Records would release in (more or less) the group's lifetime. Despite containing three tracks that had been U.S. Top 15 singles, the compilation was not commercially successful, rising only to number 153 on the U.S. albums chart.
