Dreamscape – Toyah Willcox Fansite

Celebrating Toyah’s incredible career… Celebrating the unsurpassed imagery… Celebrating some of the finest music ever released… Celebrating 12 years of Toyah Fanzine!

Today saw the release of Toyah’s amazing 1983 single, Rebel Run on 10″ grey vinyl, which includes unreleased tracks, including an extended version of the lead song. It feels like a new era of Love Is The Law. I’m celebrating from a fan perspective with a new issue of Toyah Fanzine, which I’m currently working on, focusing on all things Love Is The Law. This bundle also includes part two of our Toyah Album Discography collection – flyers & postcards for every Toyah album release.

• More info on Issue 61, including previews and order link, here.

Love Is The Law – Toyah’s final studio album on Safari Records, originally released in 1983 – is reissued in deluxe formats this November, and we are celebrating with a new issue – #61 – of our fanzine. More info will be available tomorrow – which just happens to be my birthday!!

Cherry Red reach the final studio album from Toyah this Autumn, with the release/reissue of Love Is The Law. A wonderful album which features Toyah’s vocals at their most soaring and glorious thus far in her career at the time.

I’m happy to say I’ve managed to produce an issue of my fanzine for each and every Cherry Red release over the past four years, and currently working on Issue 61 (gulp!!) in celebration of Love Is The Law. More info soon…

I’ve had requests for back issues of the fanzine. Unfortunately there aren’t many but what is available I’ve listed on the page you’ll find by clicking below…

The new issue(s) of Dreamscape’s Toyah Fanzine are available to pre-order. Celebrating the reissue of the glorious Warrior Rock: Toyah On Tour live album, as well as 60 issues of the fanzine. This bundle is also the start of a three-part celebration of Toyah’s album discography, via a flyers/postcards collection. Further info/pre-order by clicking below.

Dreamscape goes into its 24th year online in March and I’m currently working on revamping the website. Right now the idea is to completely change the look/format, which I find slightly scary/daunting, but I think it really is time for a radical change as I’ve been using this layout since 2012. During the 12 years before that I altered the format every couple of years.

This is, obviously, going to take a while as we have a huge archive that needs to be reformatted, or at least included in the new website in some form, as I’ve always considered the archives to be a really important aspect of any website. I’m also thinking of a way to incorporate the fanzine in some way.

So, the changes aren’t going to happen immediately but just a heads up that the changes will be happening…

New print issues of Dreamscape’s Toyah Fanzine are coming… In the meantime, our free digital lockdown issue – celebrating Toyah Solo – is still available online to read or download.

I must say a huge thank you to Toyah for mentioning Dreamscape’s Fanzine in her blog, as well as Craig Astley for posting about it in the latest ‘Breaking Through’ Official Newsletter. I am extremely grateful for the support.
