Toyah / Revelations
5CD anthology of B-sides, rarities, etc
Toyah has announced Revelations, a rarities collection featuring material from the band’s time on Safari Records (1979-1983).
Revelations provides an alternate history of the Toyah Willcox-fronted new wavers by way of B-sides, outtakes, instrumentals, alternate versions, home demos and live tracks. Record label Cherry Red say that “it has been designed to perfectly complement the album catalogue reissue programme”. Remarkably, given how comprehensive the individual album reissues were, 50 of the 102 tracks on Revelations are previously unreleased. The box has been compiled by by Toyah archivist Craig Astley alongside Joel Bogen, co-founder, composer and guitarist with the band.
This is a 5CD set, in a clamshell box, with each disc in an individual wallet. These are accompanied by a 40-page booklet.

The Drought Of 1975: 5Select: Saturday 27th June: 7pm
Beginning in May 1975, Britain was gripped by a record-breaking spell of erratic weather that stretched for 16 long months.

Featuring archive footage and first-hand accounts from famous faces including John Kettley, Toyah Willcox, Don Letts, Tony Blackburn, Ann Widdecombe and Neil Kinnock, this documentary tells the compelling story of the drought and its enduring legacy.
Review: Toyah Willcox at The Tivoli in Aberdeen
Mark Lenthall reviews Toyah Willcox at The Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen, Wednesday June 10, 2026.
Not many artists can say they’ve enjoyed two successful careers separated by a kitchen table. Toyah Willcox can.
The viral Sunday Lunch videos she and her husband, prog rock guitarist Robert Fripp, began making during lockdown introduced her to an entirely new generation, proving that sometimes the shortest route back into the spotlight involves a phone camera, a few daft ideas and a complete disregard for dignity.
At Aberdeen’s Tivoli Theatre on Wednesday night, a stop on her Songs & Stories tour, the audience got to meet the woman who had been all this and more before the algorithm found her.
How was Toyah Willcox at the Tivoli?
Like recent appearances there from Stewart Copeland and Justin Hawkins, the show demonstrated the growing appeal of the “Evening With” format. Audiences increasingly seem willing to hear what happened behind the music.
The woman once dubbed the “High Priestess of Punk” has enough stories over five decades to fill several evenings, never mind one.

We – Me, Sharon, Brian, Alec & Michael – had a brilliant day in our glorious capital on Friday (12th June). It’s impossible not to have a great time in Edinburgh as it’s such a wonderful, interesting, vibrant city. We packed in breakfast, a museum visit, a walk around the city centre, lunch and some chill out time at our respective hotels before doing the Songs And Stories Meet & Greet with Toyah at The Queen’s Hall, followed by another great show.

We – Sharon and I – had an awesome day in Aberdeen on Wednesday (10th June). I haven’t visited The Granite City since I was a teenager so I was really looking forward to it and it didn’t disappoint. We had a lot of fun before doing the Songs And Stories Meet & Greet with Toyah at the Tivoli Theatre, followed by a great show. So good to meet Toyah again after many years and get my first ever photo with her.

Toyah and Cherry Red Records are pleased to announce the release of Revelations, arriving on 21 August 2026. Revelations is a comprehensive collection of B-Sides and rarities from Toyah’s recording history for the Safari Records label. It is designed to perfectly complement the album catalogue reissue programme.
Revelations is released on two exciting formats.
2LP VINYL EDITION: The 2LP Vinyl brings together for the first time ever the band’s complete run of B-Sides and flexi-discs plus three completed outtakes not included on LPs, EPs or singles. This marks the first time these 22 B-Sides and non-album tracks have appeared together on one single release. From the beloved War Boys and Angels & Demons (both from the top 5 hit EP Four From Toyah) and Voodoo Doll (12” B-Side of the top ten hit single Thunder In The Mountains) to the two-track flexi-disc release featuring Sphinx and For You, and Warrior Rock, a flip-side of 1982’s Brave New World.
Revelations is pressed on Grey Smoke vinyl housed in a full colour outer jacket with spot gloss detailing. Two colour inner bags feature rare, unseen and classic Toyah imagery. Following on from last year’s highly praised Chameleon – The Very Best of Toyah, this collection grants lots of Toyah fans wishes to present the band’s B-Sides on one album, whilst the vast majority of the 22 tracks have also not been pressed on vinyl since the 1980s.
5CD BOX SET EDITION: The 5CD box set is an anthology of 102 tracks in total, of which 50 are previously unreleased. Revelations is housed in a clamshell box with spot gloss detailing and features classic, rare and unseen images. Full colour CD wallets and a 40-page booklet make it an essential release for Toyah fans.
• Pre-Order Revelations on 5CD Box Set and/or 2LP Vinyl Edition at Cherry Red. Read the press release at toyahwillcox.com. Browse the full Box Set tracklist and the Vinyl LP tracklist. Watch Toyah announcing the release last week.
