Alan Price had just left The Animals when this was being recorded.
I found a piece of info claiming that the recording took place when the group was on one of their tours in the USA.
This is one of my favorites of the group and a fine piece of British R&B.
Chandler left the band in late 1966. On their final tour in the States, he found a very talented American guitarist in a nightclub in New York City. Later that year he got him to travel to the UK, recruited a bassist and a drummer to play with him and suggested naming the new band as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Chandler also became the manager and producer of the sensational new band.
