Description
Originally released in 1986, Animal Magic is the second album from The Blow Monkeys, which gave the band their commercial breakthrough after 1984s critically acclaimed debut Limping For A Generation.
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.
This reissue is pressed on limited edition solid white vinyl and features exclusive liner notes by journalist Barry McIlheney, who was editor of Smash Hits at the time of Animal Magics original release. Barry interviewed lead singer Dr Robert exclusively for this reissue and Robert talks about the bands success at the time upon the release of Digging Your Scene, and the album which propelled them into the limelight.
