This summary is based on the discography included in the book "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" written by Eric Burdon with J. Marshall Craig in 2001. |

Some of the early 1960's albums released as LP's by The Animals had US as well as UK versions with the same album names but featuring very different track listings. |
|||
Although the "Eric Is Here" album released in 1967 was credited to Eric Burdon & The Animals, it was recorded by Eric Burdon with studio musicians prior to the formation of Eric Burdon & The Animals. Barry Jenkins, who had replaced John Steel as the drummer for The Animals in 1966, was the only member of The Animals to be part of Eric's new line up when it became Eric Burdon & The Animals and released the "Winds Of Change" album in 1967. |
