One can get an idea of the confusion that fans must have felt by virtue of the fact that Love Is was the third album by Eric Burdon and the Animals to be issued in 1968, even with a major lineup change taking place. Future Police-man Andy Somers (aka Summers) arrived on guitar to join his longtime stablemate Zoot Money, while John Weider moved over to bass. This album marked the end of The Animals as a continuously operating music unit, and betrays an understandable lack of direction and enthusiasm.
