Not many blues singers match the pain and trouble of Eric Burdon from The Animals. He was screwed out of every penny the band made and his lack of wealth has allowed him to extend his career in more ways than possible. Many thought he was a black American, when in fact he was a white Geordie from North England.
‘Club a Go Go’ was one of the upbeat blues numbers but surprisingly one of the least popular. The quick guitar riffs leave listeners shaking their hips whether they choose to or not, a regular occurrence in Newcastle’s most famous club.
The Story
The Animals sing proudly about the Newcastle’s best music venue ‘Club a Go Go’ which translated well in the live music loving United States of America.
The song was released on the US version of Animal Tracks, which featured a very different track listing to the UK album four months earlier.
Since then, ‘Club a Go Go’ has featured on a number of The Animals various greatest hits records.
