The album Minx contained two hit singles, Don\u2019t Fall In Love (I Said) and Soul Passing Through Soul, as well as covers of Alice Cooper\u2019s School\u2019s Out and Rare Bird\u2019s Sympathy. 1987\u2019s Desire, featured appearances from Robert Fripp and Ron Wood and Toyah\u2019s cover of Echo Beach, and now contains the previously unreleased outtake \u201cMesmerised. Prostitute (1988) was an arresting and fascinating departure from the pop formula, a trend continued by 1991\u2019s Ophelia\u2019s Shadow. In 1994, Take The Leap\u201d featured new songs and intriguing revisits of several of her earlier pop hits. 2003\u2019s \u201cVelvet Lined Shell took Toyah back to her guitar punk roots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/Toyah_Solo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/smarturl.it\/Toyah_Solo noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32499 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/solo20d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/solo20d.jpg 600w, https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/solo20d-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amongst the bonus tracks are Toyah\u2019s collaborations with Tony Banks, Trey Gunn, German band Kiss Of Reality, Family Of Noise and This Fragile Moment. The lavishly-illustrated 48 page booklet features annotation about each album written by Toyah herself. Also featured is an essay on the period covered by the box by Toyah\u2019s official archivist and compiler of this box set, Craig Astley. As Craig says: \u201ceclectic is an often-overused word but is an accurate description of this intriguing and revelatory body of work. From unashamed pop and avant-garde to progressive rock and back to punk, the Common factors throughout are Toyah\u2019s voice and lyrics but moreover, a sense of forging and following her own creative solo path\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Continue reading about <em>Toyah Solo<\/em> at <a href=\"https:\/\/toyahwillcox.com\/toyah-solo-7-cd-dvd-box-set-available-to-pre-order-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>toyahwillcox.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyah Solo is a new 7 CD + DVD anthology of collected works by Toyah, released 28 February 2020 by Edsel Records RELEASE DATE: 28 February 2020 CAT NO: TOYAHBOX01 FORMAT: 7 CD + DVD in wallets in 2-piece box with 48 page booklet An Amazon Exclusive edition features a signed print and is strictly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24,149,2309],"tags":[2297,2324],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32497"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32497"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32529,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32497\/revisions\/32529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyah.net\/ds\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
