It’s been remastered from the original master tapes by Nick Watson and a CD/DVD edition features the full concert setlist – including the previously unreleased songs She, a reprise of Danced and an unedited complete version of Neon Womb, which originally faded early as the B-Side of live single Danced – paired with a DVD of the 1980 television documentary ‘Toyah’.
Originally airing on November 17, 1980, the feature follows Toyah for over half a year capturing band rehearsals and studio recording sessions, alongside other rare behind-the-scenes footage.
The set is packaged with sleeve notes by Craig Astley and a fully illustrated 24-page booklet, also featuring an introductory note from Toyah.
Meanwhile, a neon yellow vinyl release features the original album, with a new inner bag with rare and unseen imagery.
‘Toyah! Toyah! Toyah!’, due May 13, is available to pre-order now.
