Combining the glamour of Roxy Music with the energy of post-punk, the sophistication of nu-jazz and the vocal and melodic stylings of Marc Bolan and T. Rex, THE BLOW MONKEYS signed to RCA Records in 1984. Second album ANIMAL MAGIC from 1986 gave them their breakthrough, as the worldwide hit single Digging Your Scene was on permanent radio rotation. This deluxe edition of ANIMAL MAGIC has now finally been re-mastered from the original tapes. It boasts all of THE BLOW MONKEYS non-album B-sides, including their trademark live cover of Curtis Mayfield s Superfly . In addition, this 2012 edition boasts six previously unissued demos and recordings created by the band during the sessions for the album, including the otherwise unheard Dr. Robert song Guess I Love Her Now . Also unveiled is the original recording of Digging Your Scene without the Linn drums. THE BLOW MONKEYS are planning to perform the album in its entirety early in 2013 and are fully supporting this reissue.
