BA25 (album)
2016 studio album (reissue) by Baby Animals
BA25 is the 25th-anniversary edition reissue of Australian rock band Baby Animals' self-titled debut studio album. The original album sold 600,000 copies and peaked at number 1 on the Australian ARIA Charts, where it remained for six weeks and was the second biggest selling album in Australia in 1991.
Lead singer Suze DeMarchi said: "I look back on that whole time with great affection, it was a really thrilling time for all of us. I always said that Baby Animals was the only band for me, and it really has been the only band for me."
The album contains 10 tracks from the original release as well live songs, B-sides and pre-studio demos. The live recordings are taken from a concert in Boston when the band was on tour with Van Halen in 1992.
The band performed two live shows in Melbourne and Sydney in May 2016 to promote the album.
The album debuted at number 73 in Australia.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “BA25 (album)” as 2016 studio album (reissue) by Baby Animals. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2016 studio album (reissue) by Baby Animals. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 14, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q24074946. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991, 1992 and 2016.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
