Things started well with CBS and The Animal in Me was recorded pretty soon after signing. Session musicians were used for the backing track and interestingly, MUD were in the studio using the same session musicians for a song called Up the Airy Mountain. Next the band recorded Even the Bad Times are Good without sessions musicians. The Boots really liked this song and hoped for a good reaction. However, The Tremolos heard the song and wanted it. So it was given to them because they were already established and became a big hit for them. It ended up on the b-side of The Animal in Me.
