About this Quote

This quote by Alan Price speaks with the idea of the Animals as a band having a particular concept of themselves.

The quote implies that the Animals were struggling to maintain their own identity and also imaginative integrity in the face of commercial pressures. This quote talks with the idea that the songs sector can be a hard area for artists to navigate, as they are typically compelled to endanger their very own imaginative vision in order to achieve success.
