The release expands the 1981 EP \u2018Four More From Toyah\u2019 into an eight- track mini-LP, compiled by Craig Astley and newly remastered from the original master tapes.
\nOriginally released in late November 1981 and lead by the track \u2018Good Morning Universe\u2019, the EP was the fourth top 20 charting single for the band in that year, following the \u2018Four From Toyah\u2019 EP (lead by \u2018It\u2019s A Mystery\u2019), \u2018I Want To Be Free\u2019 and \u2018Thunder In The Mountains\u2019.<\/p>\n

The EP was the first material to be studio-recorded since the departure of drummer Nigel Glockler who was replaced by Simon Phillips. This EP contains eight tracks recorded by the line- up of Toyah Willcox (vocals), Joel Bogen (guitarist, co-writer and co-founder of the Toyah band), Adrian Lee (keyboards), Phil Spalding (bass) and the newly recruited Simon Phillips (drums).<\/p>\n

Side A contains all four of the tracks from the original EP.<\/p>\n

Side B opens with the previously unreleased, studio recorded tour intro track \u2018Go Berserk\u2019, including new vocals and snatches of lyrics from \u2018Neon Womb\u2019 and \u2018Urban Tribesmen\u2019 plus new dialogue that leads to a chilling crescendo. \u2018Go Berserk\u2019 was played before the band walked on stage on the European Tour of winter 1981. It is swiftly followed by the newly remastered \u2018Stand Proud\u2019 which often featured as the first song played live (directly after Go Berserk had finished). The track originally appeared on a flexi-disc with initial copies of the \u2018Four More From Toyah\u2019 EP.<\/p>\n

The third track is \u2018Clapham Junction\u2019, an out-take that began in the session for the single \u2018Thunder In The Mountains\u2019, was finished with new drum parts from Simon Phillips and vocals\/ lyrics from Toyah.<\/p>\n

The final track is the last session recorded by this line-up and hails from February 1982. This previously unreleased re-recording of the hit single \u2018I Want To Be Free\u2019 was produced by Steve Lillywhite in the Roundhouse Studios and went on to be used as the basis of the band\u2019s television performance on the British Rock & Pop Awards when Toyah was awarded Best Female Singer in early 1982. This track has not previously been released.<\/p>\n

All eight tracks are remastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering and approved by Joel Bogen. The sleeve contains an out-take of the EP photography from the Safari archives plus full lyrics on a newly designed inner bag. Initial quantities come with an exclusive postcard.<\/p>\n
