Originally released in 1986, ‘Animal Magic’ was The Blow Monkeys’ second album and the one that saw the band achieve commercial success after their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Limping For A Generation’ in 1984. ‘Animal Magic’ includes the hit single “Forbidden Fruit” and the classic “Digging Your Scene”. A triumph of intelligent, soul-infused sophistic-pop, the album is a treasure trove of superbly crafted gems including “I Backed A Winner (In You)” which sees lead singer Dr Robert backed by a-capella vocalists The Demon Barbers, and “Sweet Murder” featuring Jamaican reggae musician Eek-A-Mouse.This re-issue is pressed on limited edition white vinyl and features exclusive new sleeve notes by journalist Barry McIlheney, who was Editor of Smash Hits at the time of ‘Animal Magic’’s original release. Barry interviewed lead singer Dr Robert exclusively for this re-issue and Robert talks about the band’s success around the release of ‘Digging Your Scene’, and the album that propelled them into the limelight.Also available as a special 4CD digipack re-issue, featuring the original album & B-sides, single versions and
