Animotion – Animotion (LP, Album, Club Edition, 1984, Mercury 822-580-1)

Why This Record Matters
Released in 1984, Animotion launched the Los Angeles synth-pop band into the mainstream with the international hit "Obsession." Blending infectious electronic hooks, polished production, and male-female vocal interplay, the album remains a defining release of the mid-1980s new wave era.

Collector Note

Pressed at Columbia's Carrollton, Georgia plant, this edition features the original mix of "Obsession" along with fan favorites including "Let Him Go" and "Open Door." Early U.S. pressings continue to attract collectors of synth-pop and 1980s new wave.
