Godzilla Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) River Deep is a pretty messy guitar version and not very nice to my ears. Help Me Girl, however is a smashing song and a dancer. Probably my favourite Animals song to be honest, with some great interplay between organ and sax. I assume everyone knows it? Also came out on Decca, but tougher on MGM I should think. Especially so on a red demo with the cute lion cub. Not a clue pricewise though. Anybody help? Cheers Godz Edited March 5, 2009 by Godzilla
Pete S Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Is it a cover...can't remember who did Help Me Girl...The Outsiders? Couldn't give you a price, if I was guessing and it was just for a late Animals demo it's be 15-20 quid I should think, but if Northern, then I dunno

I used to pick up Decca copies (flip of See See Rider) and sell them at Wigan. I think it was played at the Wheel, or maybe Pendulum as it was definitely known around the Manchester area. I'll see if I can knock a clip up before I start my essay. Might be a bit buzzy though as I haven't got my proper deck plugged in. Cheers

Godzilla Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 oops - just looked at the label and it's not theirs. Sorry about that. Didn't know the Outsiders song was the same one though as i grew up with this one. Actually, listening now it sounds more like a sort of mod tune. Still like the sax organ solo though...

"Help Me Girl" is a song performed by Eric Burdon in 1966. It was billed to Eric Burdon & The Animals for his 1967 solo album, Eric Is Here. It reached number 29 on the U.S. charts and number 14 on the UK charts. At the same time, The Outsiders released it as a single reaching number 37 on the U.S. charts. source Wikipedia
