Dreamscape – Toyah Willcox Fansite

Christmas 2024, and today Toyah’s version of, the Greg Lake festive classic, I Believe In Father Christmas is released as a standalone single for the very first time.

This is the third in an ongoing series of Toyah 10″ vinyl single/EP releases, following Brave New World in 2023 and Rebel Run in September of this year.

Originally recorded in 1982 for inclusion on the ITV special Pop Goes Christmas, the track features Toyah Willcox (vocals), Joel Bogen (acoustic guitar) and Keith Hale (keyboards).

The new 10″ single is pressed on snow white vinyl and is accompanied with a colour Toyah Christmas Card in a throwback to the annual Christmas cards posted out to members of The Intergalactic Ranchhouse, the official Toyah fan club ran by Safari Records.

Such sad news – Greg Lake, legendary bass guitarist and writer of the greatest Christmas song, I Believe in Father Christmas, died yesterday. Read The Guardian’s tribute to Greg here.
