The Blow Monkeys

Animal Magic

£11.99

Released: 27th January 2023. 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'. '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 special CD reissue includes the original album plus b-sides, singles versions and remixes, all exclusive to the 4 CD format, and features exclusive liner notes by journalist Barry McIlheney.
