~Eric 'n his grenade in 1966~

~The inscription at the bottom of the 2nd photo :

"In 1964, I knew The Animals were an explosive mix of egos. In 1966, photographer Bruce Fleming shot my prediction that the band would go off like a grenade. Ever since, for the fans - for the music - I've soldiered on. EVB 2001"

JANE ASHER'S COSTUME BOOK ON THE DASHBOARD?? TIME TO BE NORMAL ABOUT MY FAV'S METICULOUSLY-CRAFTED CAMEO.

I haven’t heard anyone talking about this…

Could someone enlighten me?

?????????????????? WHAT

The collateral effects of having dated Paul

WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD?

Entrepeneur queen

ALSO THE BEST ONE

IM PEEING MYSELF THIS CANT BE TRUE LMAO

(Also, my posible future pfp…)

#honestly i can't add a lot to this conversation just that alan price is here and jane asher is based af #i remember first finding these images and nearly keeling over in hilarity-induced shock and awe #the fruity piano man is so nice to his girl besties this is why the lesbians appreciate him and are his friend (me 🤝 dusty springfield) #the picture of him with the horns (wow aries moment) and the wooly coat is the closest we'll have to alan's confirmed fursona #besides that one guy who asked 'which one of you is the tiger?' to the animals when they first landed in america and alan got pissy #fantastic stunning showstopping. alan price. *my brain explodes from the serotonin* #wild to think that this was what he was doing *right before* his concert with eric and the reunion tour with the animals #very good and gay year for annoying people named connie who weren't even born yet #in all seriousness i love jane asher a whole lot and i seriously commend her for wholly being her own person outside of paul #she and peter asher are probably my favorite beatle-adjacent figures aaaaaaaa #(BESIDES DONOVAN TOO) #they were friends with sooooo many other cool people!!!! I LOVE HOW INTERCONNECTED THE 60S ROCK WORLD WAS!!!!!!! #alan price is there....... yes yes yes yes ALAN PRICE....... HGGGGHHHHHHGGHGGHH okay i need a dr pepper #alan price!! #jane asher!! #long post #things i said today

I LOVE HAVING A JOB THAT WAY I CAN ARCHIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANIMALS #not only on the front cover with a photo i've never seen before bUT WITH AN ENTIRE CENTERFOLD ARTICLE EEEEEE #alan in a chair....... practically leaning against eric...... help help help i will cry #i can't tell what's happening with john in the crease he looks like an analog horror character #very very VERY excited for this..... #there are some other mags i'm eyeing too... some issues of 'NME' and another 'Melody Maker' with alan on the front #and there is an issue of 'jackie' with an alan article that's soooo good... talking about things he does to improve his mental health 🥹🥹🥹 #GOSHHHH I LOVE!! COLLECTING MAGAZINES ABOUT THEM!! #there's so little information shared about the animals and especially alan from the actual 60s... just lots of recent and bitter interviews #THERE'S SO MUCH UNDERSTANDING AND POSITIVITY IN THESE. especially the more music-oriented ones that aren't teen-gossip-heavy #crazy how this particular issue is from just a month before alan left the band.... gOSH WHAT WILL HE SAY?? 😭🙏 #the animals #british invasion #60s rock #not a second mag #that picture is going to be my new banner icon once i scan a higher quality version of it #ALAN.
