Davie504 rocks...the BASS (SLAP!)
Playing a Bass Guitar with zero strings
All the sounds come from the bass guitar parts with applied heavy EQs and FXs and even pitch shift for the jack buzz sound to them in order to get the best results:
Oh, I like your style! In fact this is one of my all time faves of Eric Burdon.
Wow! Great song! Thanks - I've never heard it before. Very cool.
Even for those of us who lived through part of that era, when we discover a hidden gem from that time, it's possible to open up and feel the same kinds of feelings that we felt back then when we heard a tune that moved us.
There was something magical and miraculous about the never-ending fountain of music that kept spring forth with (as we discovered later on) thousands and thousands of tunes that we couldn't have possibly heard at the time.
So to catch a gem like this one feels like a (brief) moment of time travel - - going back in time and experiencing that same uncanny feeling of magic and wonderment - - something new and different - - to us, since we've never heard it before it is just as NEW to us now as it would have been if we were there when the record was first released.
I was only entering middle school when the Animals were big among college students (mid-1960's), so there's still a whole bunch of stuff by the bands of that era that I still haven't discovered yet. How cool is that? There are treasure chests full of amazing music from that time still waiting to be dug up!
Here are a couple of obscure, but great bands from that era that you might enjoy checking out:

Beautiful! Another new treasure - - new to me - - thank you!
Man, The Parlour Band sounds familiar, I'm sure I heard them back in my teen years when I lived in Virginia for a few years... might have been while at a friend's house, I'm fortunate a lot of my friends enjoyed exploring musical tastes, and this band just has a familiar sound, I just can't put a finger on it when or where I heard them.
I hadn't heard The Smoke before, so I'm enjoying listening to that one right now. They've got that recognizable 60s-70s vibe to them, I like it!
So hey, if you like discovering "obscure" music, dunno if you have heard of them before, but this is another one of my favorite "obscure" bands. They're a bit of hard driving rock, but not in a really "noisy" way. The drummer was the band founder and is incredible BTW, he later formed another similar style band called Armageddon that's just as awesome (and obscure)! You can really hear his drum skills shine at the 22:00 min mark on a song called "1000 Days of Yesterdays"!
You might have to look past the goofy 70's album cover art, but I love the album art of that era.
I love how all the songs flow one into the other pretty nicely! They're always a nice walk down memory lane for me!

Thank you! I'm right in the middle of music editing right now, but am psyched about checking this album out too!
I have been digging and searching for this genre of music, and have 6 or 8 more that you might enjoy. I'll try to provide some more links to you tomorrow.
BTW, I've been using this online mp3/mp4 audio joiner to make my own custom rearrangements, edits, and medleys from the Parlour Band and The Smoke albums and many others. Maybe we're all doing that kind of thing, but here's the one I use: https://audio-joiner.com/.
