Toyah (Willcox)/Sunday All Over the World

Toyah Ann Willcox was born on May 18, 1958 in Kings Heath, Birmingham, England. She is a singer, songwriter, and actress, mostly representative from the early 80's as part of her band Toyah. She's best known for the massive success of her singles Thunder in the Mountains and It's A Mystery. She has participated in Derek Jarman's Jubilee film in 1977, in which she portrays a teen punk that finds Queen Elizabeth I transported to England of the 1970's. She has been married to progressive rock band King Crimson's guitarist, Robert Fripp since 1986. Since 2006, she has been part of the band The Humans, along with guitarist Chris Wong, Bill Reiflin from R.E.M. and her husband Robert Fripp as an occasional member.

Sheep Farming in Barnet (1979 EP, 1980 LP)

Sheep Farming in Barnet is Toyah's first album, released on August 3, 1979 the EP version and on February 22, 1980 the LP version. This record was released under Safari Records. The album was originally released as a 6-track extended EP, dubbed an 'Alternate Play' record (AP) by Safari, and was later expanded into full-album status. The album was later reissued on CD, cassette and white vinyl by Great Expectations in 1990 (As PIPCD 014), and again on CD by Safari themselves in 2002, this time digitally remastered and coupled with the band's second album, The Blue Meaning. The album was produced by Steve James and future band member Keith Hale. The album was originally compiled by the band's German record label, EMI Electrola, but importation of the disc was so widespread, Safari decided to cash in and follow suit. The tracks added included several songs which did not make the original tracklisting and the debut single "Victims of the Riddle" (originally released in July 1979), plus its b-side "Victims of the Riddle (Vivisection)". Several tracks from the album became firm live favourites, and featured on two later live albums. Toyah Willcox still performs the tracks "Danced" and "Neon Womb" in her live sets.







Original EP tracklist:

1-) Neon Womb.
2-) Indecision.
3-) Waiting.
4-) Our Movie.

The Blue Meaning (1980)

The Blue Meaning is Toyah's second studio album, released on June 6, 1980 by Safari Records. Although not the first full-length release, this is often considered to be the band's first "proper" album. It saw its first release on CD in 1990 on the Great Expectations label (As PIPCD 015), and was reissued in a double-CD package with Sheep Farming in Barnet in 2002. The latter release was remastered and included two bonus tracks. The track "Spaced Walking" was recorded as Toyah inhaled helium gas to give her vocals a 'squeaky' demeanor (she can be heard inhaling between lines). "The Helium Song", a b-side from this period, was simply an extended version of "Spaced Walking" with a longer introduction, and a proper ending - the album version simply fading out. The track Ieya was released as a single and has become a live favorite for her fans. The album charted at #40 in the U.K.





Tracklist:

1-) Ieya.
2-) Spaced Walking.
3-) Ghosts.
4-) Mummies.
5-) Blue Meanings.
6-) Tiger! Tiger!
7-) Visions.
8-) Insects.
9-) Love Me.

Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! (1980)

Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! is Toyah's first live album, released on November 28, 1980. This was recorded by Toyah on 17 June 1980 at the Lafayette Club in Wolverhampton. The concert was also filmed by ATV as part of a TV documentary about the band and its eponymous singer. The album saw its first CD release in 1990 on the Great Expectations label. A new remastered reissue Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! (Special Edition) was released on 30 October 2006 via Cherry Red Records. This expanded edition features extra live tracks from 1980 and from the 1982 The Changeling tour. The latter tracks include those cut from the abridged CD release of Warrior Rock: Toyah on Tour - albeit taken from a different concert of the same tour recorded for "Warrior Rock". Six of the eight bonus tracks are previously unreleased. The new edition includes an introductory note from Toyah herself and a sleevenote by Craig Astley, in addition to rare live photographs.

The album reached number #2 in the UK albums chart as well as charting in several countries including Norway, where it charted at number #20. Original vinyl issues of the album came complete with a colour insert featuring photographs of the band wrapped in bandages, with various exposed body parts sprayed gold, and Egyptian themed drawings across the lyrics pages. A picture disc variation, featuring the albums front and back artwork and no sleeve, was also issued at the time.

The Changeling (1982)

The Changeling is Toyah's fourth studio album, released in May, 1982. Although it has a similar overall sound, the band's writing took a darker, almost gothic direction. Tracks such as "The Packt" and "Brave New World" take a rather dystopian although still hopeful view of the future, a theme which largely pervades the whole album. The Changeling was not released on CD until 1999, although this long-awaited release did at least include six bonus tracks, four of which were previously unavailable on CD, and the video for "Thunder In The Mountains". Original vinyl issues of the album came complete with a lyric insert, the background of which featured drawings of circuit boards. Around the lyrics of each song were sections of poetry written by Toyah Willcox, which were not included on the album. The album was released internationally and sold particularly well in the UK (#6) and Norway (#22). The only single released from this album was Brave New World (#21 U.K.). There were plans to release Dawn Chorus as a follow-up single but unfortunately it was never materialized. This record was released in CD format in 2002.





Tracklist:

1-) Creepy Room.
2-) Street Creature.
3-) Castaways.
4-) The Druids.

Mayhem (1985)

Mayhem Mayhem is a collection of previously unreleased material, originally released in 1985, consisting mostly of demos and tracks not included on previous albums. When Toyah left Safari Records, the record company found enough material to compile one last album; this was apparently done without the consent of the band members. In spite of that, it was well-received by the band's fans. This album was reissued in 2005 with bonus tracks (which are included in the uploaded file).

Minx (1985)


Minx is Toyah's sixth studio album and first one as a solo artist, released in August, 1985. It has something of a controversial reputation as it represented a departure from her previous works, which tended toward thematic albums written almost in their entirety by Willcox and long-standing band members such as Joel Bogen and Phil Spalding. As an attempt to make a more "polished" pop album and (supposedly) to break into the U.S. market, a lot of artistic control was ceded to the producers leading to an unprecedented six cover versions from the original CD's 12 tracks. The lead single "Don't Fall in Love (I Said)" was a hit in the UK, reaching the top 30, as did the album, but follow-up releases "Soul Passing Through Soul" and "World in Action" were less successful. The album became very hard to find in the 1990s, and before its 2005 reissue, CD copies were commanding high figures on e-bay.The singles released from this album were: Don't Fall in Love (I Said) (#22 U.K.), Soul Passing Through Soul (#57 U.K.), and World in Action (#90 U.K.).





LP Tracklist:

1-) Soldier of Fortune, Terrorist of Love.
2-) Don't Fall in Love (I Said).

Desire (1987)

Desire is Toyah's seventh studio album and second as solo artist, released in 1987. It is more typical of her band's earlier albums rather than its more commercial predecessor Minx, although it didn't entirely escape the imposition of cover versions, including "Echo Beach", originally recorded by Martha and the Muffins, and, somewhat incongruously, "Love's Unkind", originally by Donna Summer. However, most of the songs are once again co-written by Willcox, and while the original release of the album does not feature any musician credits, it does however benefit from a consistent band line-up [as detailed on Toyah Willcox's official website], rather than the large number of session musicians involved in Minx. In her autobiography, Willcox stated that she was forced to record "Love's Unkind" by her record label, but she was fiercely opposed to it. E.G. Records threatened to cancel the album's release if she did not.To date, the album has yet to be reissued - so cd copies are rare and tend to be very expensive. However, Toyah has stated in her webletters that a reissue is on the cards for the future. The singles released from this album were: Her last charting hit, Echo Beach (#54 U.K.) and Moonlight Dancing.



Tracklist:

1-) Echo Beach.
2-) Moonlight Dancing.
3-) Revive the World.
4-) The View.
5-) Moon Migration.

Prostitute (1988)

Prostitute is Toyah's eighth studio album and third as solo artist, released in 1988. It is a concept album and highly experimental in nature, marking a considerable divergence from previous works. It is uncompromising in its style, containing no obviously "radio-friendly" tracks. The album was reissued on Toyah's own record label, Vertical Species, in 2003, together with its follow up album, Ophelia's Shadow. In the extensive sleeve notes she provided for the reissue, Willcox explains the gestation of the album, particularly the scrutiny her recent marriage to Robert Fripp was under in the press, and the feeling that by the release of Desire, she had become, in her own words, "staid and predictable". It's important to point out that Toyah played al ot of the instruments herself in this album.



Tracklist:

1-) Hello.
2-) Prostitute.
3-) Wife.
4-) The Show.
5-) Dream House.
6-) Homecraft.

Ophelia's Shadow (1991)

Ophelia's Shadow is Toyah's ninth studio album and fourth as a solo artist, released in 1991. Moving on from the experimental Prostitute, it showcases a more progressive style of music and is very much the sister album to Sunday All Over The World's Kneeling at the Shrine. This album was critically acclaimed in the USA and entered the American Import chart at number #12. The album was reissued in 2003 via Toyah's own Vertical Species label. Toyah has said that Prostitute and Ophelia's Shadow are part of an album trilogy, with the third album never recorded to date.

1-) Ophelia's Shadow.
2-) The Shaman Says.
3-) Brilliant Day.

Take the Leap! (1993)

Leap! or Take the Leap! are the names of Toyah's 1993 album. It consists of six new tracks, either previously unrecorded or written for the new album, and eight older tracks re-recorded with her new band. It was originally released as Leap!, a cassette-only tour album, and was sold at concerts during her 1993 tour. A CD version called Take the Leap! was released in Japan the following year. A UK release finally happened in 2006, and consequently original copies of the album have become much sought after. Again, it shows a change in style from previous recordings, and has a much more raw feel than the polished albums which preceded it. Many of the 6 'original/new' compositions had been written and demoed much earlier, including "Invisible Love" in 1989 with Simon Darlow. A glutch of demos recorded with Phil Nicholas in 1992, were also re-worked from their dancey ambient style into albums tracks with a rockier feel, namely "God Ceases to Dream" and "Now I'm Running". Another demo from these sessions with Nicholas, "Tears For Elie" found a home as a bonus track on the 2006 reissue CD, along with "Requite Me", a stray 1992 demo produced by Toyah and Simon Darlow.



Tracklist:

1-) Now I'm Running.
2-) Lust for Love.
3-) Invisible Love.
4-) Name of Love.

Dreamchild (1994)

Dreamchild is Toyah's tenth studio album and fifth as a solo artist, released in 1994 via Cryptic Records in Germany. It is the album with the least amount of input from Toyah herself, as almost every track was composed by Mike Bennett, with Toyah contributing lyrics to only one track. The dance nature of the album also contrasts with the rest of her catalogue, making it Toyah appear more of a guest vocalist than the leading artist on her own album. 'Dreamchild' was re-issued in the UK with an alternative cover and extra tracks by Cherry Red records in July 2010. The singles released from this album were Now and Then and Out of the Blue. This album was also re-released in 1997 as Phoenix, with one bonus track.

Velvet Lined Shell (2003)

Velvet Lined Shell is Toyah's 2003 EP. The album was cited as a return to her punk roots. Recorded in her home town of Birmingham, most of the tracks have a deliberately raw feel to them, with Toyah citing Nick Cave and Garbage amongst her newer influences. In much the same way as Toyah's debut album, Sheep Farming In Barnet was a compilation of tracks previously released on single and EP in their own right, three tracks on this album first appeared on the 2002 Little Tears Of Love EP, which was sold exclusively via Toyah's website, and strictly limited to 1000 signed copies. One track from that EP, the Tim Elsenburg composition Experience, does not feature on the album. Three of the musicians on this album, Anthony Bishop, Tim Elsenburg, and Alistair Hamer are members of experimental rock band Sweet Billy Pilgrim.
