Chameleon: The Very Best Of Toyah

The 40-track double CD edition is presented in two chapters. CD1 collects 20 hits and classic cuts from 1979-1983 by Toyah – the band which she formed with composer and guitarist Joel Bogen, and Pete Bush. Toyah’s otherworldly lyrics and evocative vocals have ensured these songs have had a lasting legacy beyond the chart hits. Album cuts such as ‘Jungles of Jupiter’, ‘Race Through Space’, ‘We Are’ and ‘Angel & Me’ are as revered as those chosen as singles. CD2 is dedicated to Toyah’s solo recordings from 1985’s Top 30 hit ‘Don’t Fall In Love’ up to most recent single ‘Roses In Chains’ which Toyah performed at Glastonbury 2024. Fans will delight in the inclusion of previously unreleased track ‘Worst In Me’. A personal favourite of Toyah’s, the song comes from the album sessions by Sunday All Over The World, the band which Toyah and Robert Fripp formed and toured with in the late 1980s. The 2CD digipack and 24-page booklet is awash with the striking, inventive and chameleonic images that are synonymous with Toyah. The package is presented with meticulous photography of the iconic looks Toyah Willcox crafted herself alongside the world’s very best stylists and rock photographers. Sleevenote contributions come from Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Saffron (Republica) reflecting on the impact Toyah had on them personally.
