"For the first time since their iconic run in the early 1960s, all five founding members -- Eric Burdon, Alan Price, Hilton Valentine, Chas Chandler, and John Steel -- came together for a raw, soulful reunion. This is the Animals with the benefit of age, experience, and no pressure to chase hits -- just great playing. Recorded with minimal fanfare in 1977, Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted is a return to the blues and R&B roots that shaped the band's early success. It's stripped-down, honest, and deeply musical -- a perfect record for fans of The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, or Bob Dylan. The album features a standout cover of Bob Dylan's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue,' along with classics from Jimmy Reed, Joe Tex, and Gospel/Blues deep cuts, reinterpreted with grit and grace. While overlooked at the time due to the rise of punk and disco, this album has grown in reputation as a hidden treasure of late-'70s rock. A must-have for collectors and a powerful reintroduction to one of Britain's most influential bands."
