Although the band Burdon formed in the late 1960s was sometimes called "Eric Burdon and the New Animals," it wasn't until 1998 that the name "Eric Burdon and the New Animals" was officially adopted.
Этот состав (позже переименованный в Eric Burdon and the New Animals) имел не меньшую популярность: синглы "When I Was Young", "Sky Pilot" и "Monterey" выходили на 1-е место в Британии.
