Pre-order Animal Magic White Vinyl And 4CD Reissues
Originally released in 1986, Animal Magic is the second album from The Blow Monkeys, which gave the band their commercial breakthrough after 1984's critically acclaimed debut Limping For A Generation.
This vinyl reissue is pressed on limited edition solid white vinyl and the special 4CD reissue includes the original album plus exclusive B-sides, singles versions and remixes. Both feature exclusive liner notes by journalist Barry McIlheney, who was the editor of Smash Hits at the time of Animal Magic's original release.
Animal Magic features the hit single 'Forbidden Fruit' and the classic 'Digging Your Scene', which was a top 20 hit in the UK, the US and worldwide.
The album, a triumph of intelligent, soul-influenced sophisti-pop, is a treasure trove of superbly crafted gems including 'I Backed A Winner (In You)', which sees singer Dr Robert backed by the acapella singers The Demon Barbers, and 'Sweet Murder', featuring Jamaican reggae musician Eek-A-Mouse.
