London is an English four-piece punk band formed in London in 1976, best known for their wild stage act. The original line-up was Riff Regan (vocals), Steve Voice (bass guitar), Jon Moss (drums) and Dave Wight (guitar). They were managed by Simon Napier-Bell and recorded two singles, a four-track EP and an album for MCA Records in 1977. Most of their songs were written by Riff Regan (including the first two singles “Everyone’s a Winner” and “Summer of Love”) or by Regan and Steve Voice. All their records were produced by Napier-Bell at the IBC Studios in London.

Animal Games is the only album recorded by the original line-up of the British punk band London. Recorded throughout 1977 at the IBC Studios in London, the album was actually released in February 1978 after the group had disbanded. The album contained all the band’s singles – “Everyone’s A Winner”, “Summer of Love” and “Animal Games” although the mix of “Everyone’s a Winner” is different from the single version.
