Thanks, Gary and Yah. The reason I'm asking about these particular songs is because the run times widely range on CD:

Bring It on Home to Me: According to the database, the 45 run time is 2:41. There are two CDs containing the hit version - one runs 2:41, while the other only clocks in at 2:34. We need the song's run time on The Animals on Tour vinyl LP to be certain, but it would appear for now that the CD running 2:34 is :07 shorter than the correct length.

Boom Boom: The database indicates the 45 run time is 2:58. There are two CDs containing the hit version - one has a 3:00 length, while the other runs considerably longer at 3:17. This makes me wonder if the latter disc may reflect a longer LP run time, so we'll need to get the song's official run time on the Animal Tracks vinyl LP to find out.

It's My Life: The 45 run time is 3:09, according to the database. The two CDs containing the hit version run 3:10 and 3:05, respectively. Gary reports his Best of the Animals vinyl LP has a run time of 3:10, so I think we can pretty much conclude here that the 3:05 CD length concludes (fades?) sooner than the 45 and LP.

I don't have either of these first two albums for timing purposes, but these two singles made their initial U.S. MGM LP appearances in 1965:

"Bring It On Home To Me" on The Animals On Tour (MGM 4281)

"Boom Boom" on Animal Tracks (MGM 4305)

And as Gary stated, "It's My Life" appeared on Best Of The Animals in 1966.

All these longplayer debuts followed their corresponding singles by three to four months, which wasn't at all unusual at the time. Guess the 45s didn't want the parental responsibility. :)

"Bring It On Home To Me":
single charted May, 1965. LP charted September, 1965.

"Boom Boom":
single charted December, 1964. LP charted March, 1965.

"It's My Life":
single charted November, 1965. LP charted February, 1966.]]> Fri, 21 May 2010 18:53:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5682&PID=26567&title=animals-top-40-hits-on-lp#26567 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5682&PID=26557&title=animals-top-40-hits-on-lp#26557 Author: Gary Mack

Can anyone tell me if any of the following Top 40 hits by The Animals ever appeared on a parent U.S. vinyl LP release?

"Bring It on Home to Me"
"Boom Boom"
"It's My Life"

If so, could you please provide any run time info?]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 22:39:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5682&PID=26555&title=animals-top-40-hits-on-lp#26555
