when am i going to get my multi-part anthology documentary series about The Animals made near-exclusively with the footage from those two cinéma vérité documentaries made in '65/'66 that do, in fact, still exist (because clips from both has been used in a couple of other documentaries about them)???
Tumblr media Tumblr media
#bonus points for some unreleased 'ready steady go!' footage#i'm not kidding nor being overly bold when i say that at this rate i'm going to be the one to uncover those documentaries#still sticking to my conspiracy theory that the reason why those documentaries haven't been re-released in full yet#is because they depict alan in a relatively neutral if not completely amiable and sympathetic light which clashes against the way#he's been so often described in articles/documentaries/biographies about the band from the past 40+ years#again. just a conspiracy on my part buuuut...... it's an awful convenient way to keep alan as the 'bad guy' of the story#JEFFERY IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE. BY THE WAY. IN THE DOCUMENTARIES AS WELL. BLAME HIM. GAHHHH#just the little clips we have from them i could over analyze for days....#like their american publicist asking if eric's going to go back to being a 'piano tuner' ohhhhhh#and seeing chas' reactions and expressions in general during the hotel argument ohhhhhhh he's out#apparently they film the moment where john quits the animals in early-'66 and jeffery argues with him..... gOSH. GOSH. GIVE IT TO ME......#anyway.... just some Thoughts#i'm happy beatles fans get another cool documentary sereies with a ton of unreleased footage too#just makes me wish we could get more regarding other bands... and NOT biopics. in the vein of 'becoming led zeppelin'#or in this case... RE-RELEASE MY UNBIASED ANINALS DOCUMENTARIES THAT WE KNOW EXIST IN FULL. GAHHHHHHHHHH#anyway........ day in the life of autisnimals..... and me needing to know if alan is present in those documentaries.......#things i said today#animusings#if i can find price to play: august 12th 1968 (with guest star eric burdon) i can find these too......

Seeing Dylovan enjoyers in the big 2025 makes me soooo happy... the soft vision...
#in the words of bob neuwirth: 'SO HAPPY TO BE HERE!!!!!!'#i haven't drawn these two together in quite a while aaaa but trust.... dylovan still means an immeasurable amount to me#i'm already working on something 'dont look back'-related as is so i thought i'd doodle these two for fun eeee#HI HELLO HIIII 'DONT LOOK BACK' IS A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE#THAT CENTERS AROUND A CYNICAL AND WRY FOLK SINGER TRAVELING TO ENGLAND AND ACTIVELY SOFTENING AROUND HIS SWEET AND AMBITIOUS CONTEMPORARY#also featuring: a fruity and drunk piano man that sets them up#going out of his way to set bob up with his scottish counterpart to distract himself from his own break-up#alan please....... spoilers for the future but eric will take you back with open arms don't worry. thanks for setting up the softies though#anyway seeing people discover bob and don's connection for the first time is soooo wonderful to see aaaa i'm glad y'all enjoy them too 🥹#i am 1000% not kidding that these two changed the course of my life through introducing me to that aforementioned fruity and drunk piano ma#and just in general getting me interested in archiving and the interconnected web that is the 60s music scene (especially in britian)#it was through wanting to learn about their relationship beyond just 'dont look back' clips that i started collecting old music magazines#they are really really neat.... gotta actually post some of the scans for those articles sometime 👀#aNYWAY. I LOVE 'DONT LOOK BACK' I LOVE SILLINESS I LOVE FRIENDSHIP I LOVE CONNECTIONS I LOVE THESE TWO AND THEIR MUSIC#and i love the fruity piano man but everyone knows that already..... his and bob.2's cameos had to happen if you know how my brain decays#bob dylan#donovan#donovan leith#dylovan#bonovan#devil in her art#i am holding back because i am soooo busy but i can't wait to have the time to make a whole video analyzing 'dont look back'#the bob squad and especially don and alan are sooooo essential to its structure both in terms of bob's development and the film as a whole

Herman's Hermits movies: *Peter Noone falls out of a rollercoaster*
Tumblr media
The Beatles movies: "🤪 we're getting into silly hijinks™ with paul's silly grandpa !! 👴🏻 omg we gotta save ringo from the bad guys! 😱 now we're goofy skiing and now we're goofy in the Bahamas! friendship 💕 :D"
The Monkees movie: "ᴡᴀʀ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴇɴᴏᴄɪᴅᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴɪɴɢ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ɴᴏᴡ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴀᴄᴇɴᴛ. ᴄᴏʀᴘᴏʀᴀᴛɪꜱᴍ ᴀɴᴅ ɢʀᴇᴇᴅ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴄʜᴏᴋᴇʜᴏʟᴅ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ. ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛᴠ ɪꜱ ʀᴇᴀʟ. ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴇᴀʀ ɪꜱ ʀᴇᴀʟ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴᴍᴇɴᴛ ɪɴᴅᴜꜱᴛʀʏ ɪꜱ ᴀ ᴘʀɪꜱᴏɴ."
#i'm not kidding when i say that the herman's hermits movies are just peter noone trying to avoid being a girlfailure and i love them for it#well except 'when the boys meet the girls' because the hermits basically just have and extended cameo in it#but 'hold on!' is a silly-fun time (where the above scene is from lmao) and 'mrs. brown you've got a lovely daughter' i legit really love#honestly it's hard to say which one i like more because 'hold on!' has more of that mid-60s chaotic-realism 'HDN' energy i love#buuuut having been to london now i really appreciate 'mrs. brown' a whole lot too AND the hermits outside of peter actually do things!!!!!#they all eat spaghetti!!!!!!!!!#also my favorite part of 'mrs. brown' is mickie most's huge-ass credit at the end that takes up the whole screen#all that to say the latter two herman's hermits movies are severely slept on and they're a lot of fun#especially if you listen to peter noone's show on SiriusXM 60's Gold every saturday night at 5 pm est WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD#aLSO MAY I ALSO OFFER: 'to sir with love'!!!!!!!! sydney poitier is wonderful aaaaand lulu's in it and she's a riot of course#i still need to watch the dave clark five movie...... aaaaand that 'seaside swingers' one with freddie and the dreamers#yes i have seen the entirety of 'get yourself a college girl' for the animals' cameo in it#and yes i will post gifs/shitposts of their horrible lip-synced scenes because it's like precious fool's gold to me#alan and eric carry alan's keyboard together <3#ANYWAY. silly 60s rock band movies what a fun genre!!!!!!!!!!!!#my favorite part of 'hold on!' is when derek leckenby walks aimlessly around that amusement park#things i said today#gif#herman's hermits

The Lovable Wild Ones!!
Got myself an issue of Big Beat, from October of 1964!! My beloved Animals are on the front cover... highly cherished by me. 🐾✨️
Also, featuring Hilton's impossibly beautiful penmanship... and Alan and Eric's signatures overlapping BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE.
#FINALLY POSTING THESE AAA... MY WONDERFUL ANIMAL-FRIENDS ON THE FRONT OF A MAGAZINE...#i swear anytime i see them on the front of a magazine i weep openly ESPECIALLY during the alan-era#especially since it's usually color photos of them which is also a rarity.....#CHAS' RED HAIR!!!!! AAAAAAAAA#you can even distinctly see the browns in eric's hair!!!!! i love this SO MUCH WAHHHHH#i love the outfits they're wearing on the front because i dub them 'the trash can outfits'#there's a photo of them all leaning around a trash can in some random london park (haven't been able to identify it yet)#and alan for some inexplicable reason is standing between eric's legs 🤨#they are wearing these outfits in that photo so. hence. trash can outfits.#ultimate devious behaviors from eric and hilton on the right......#that blue suit john is wearing reminds me of dave's!#i own another photo of the trash can outfits where hilton is trying to impale john in the back with a stake which i ALSO need to post soon#honestly i was on the fence if i wanted to display the front cover or that 'ready steady go!' photo....#BECAUSE LOOK AT THEM!!! LOVABLE WILD ONES!!!!! ALAN'S FACE!!!!!!! the 'rsg!' photos of them are soooo nice....#buuuut... yeah i want to display that wonderful color photo of them above all else 🥹#also i was staring at that fan club letter page for a solid ten minutes when i first saw it#the fact that hilton responded is SO ADORABLE HE WOULD TOTALLY BE THE FAN CLUB COMMUNICATOR WITH HOW MUCH HE APPRECIATES THE FANS!!!!!!!#his penmanship is too good though..... i'm sorry hilton i can't read much of your script handwriting outside of 'scotland' 😔#sounds like he's eager to join fan celebrations.... YES!!! ANIMALS!!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES YOU REACHED NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!!!!!#gooosh gosh gosh by the way.... alan and eric's signatures overlapping. ALAN AND ERIC'S SIGNATURES OVERLAPPING. AND ONLY *THEIR* SIGNATURES#i am always sobbing over them. profusely. in the most /pos way you can imagine. animals....#the animals#eric burdon#alan price#hilton valentine#john steel#chas chandler#not a second mag#classic rock#british invasion
