Wild & Wicked is a 2006 compilation album by Eric Burdon.

Contents

Some tracks were taken from the unreleased "Mirage Project" from 1973. Other tracks are taken from the album Comeback and the film of the same title from 1981/82, a track recorded by The Eric Burdon Band in 1973, and a track probably recorded in 1971 but not released until 1988 on the compilation album Wicked Man .

The first nine tracks were credited to "Studio", the last eight tracks to "Live". This description is incorrect. Only some of the "Live" tracks are live recordings, some of them are still studio recordings, mainly from 1982.

AllMusic rated the album two stars and noted, "the live material has been out so many times that it's all but impossible to tell which label issued it first. Avoid." [1]
