As far as compilations to capture the latter "psychedelicized" Animals, you have several choices:1) The Animals Retrospective SACD (already mentioned)--I have it, and I've heard mixed reviews of its sound quality--only so much an SACD can do with some older recordings;
2) The Animals: Absolute Animals 1964-68: this remastered "newer" compilation was released in 2003 by Raven Records--made in Australia! From your own country, mate!
3) The Best of Eric Burdon and the Animals 1966-68 (1991 Polygram).In addition to San Franciscan Nights and Sky Pilot, other Animals' songs that have a psychedelic flavor (only the Polygram issue includes all of these) are White Houses, Monterey, Winds of Change, When I Was Young, and Don't Bring Me Down.
I own all three of these compilations. The one thing I like about the older Polygram one is the inclusion of the Animals' cover of "River Deep, Mountain High." I prefer their version to that of Ike And Tina Turner.
