The Blue Aeroplanes ont annoncé la sortie d’une compilation baptisée Magical Realism: The Best of The Blue Aeroplanes.

L’anthologie couvrant la période 1985-2025 a été compilée par le groupe britannique formé en 1981 à Bristol.

La compilation sera disponible le 24 Janvier 2025 via Chrysalis Records en vinyle 2LP et en CD, tous deux remasterisés par Phil Kinrade.

Les deux formats offriront des titres bonus « Showing Off to Impress the Girls » du groupe Art Objects, pré-Blue Aeroplanes, et « I Will Love You », une démo exclusive d’un nouveau morceau.
