Background

The album was recorded on 17 June 1980 at the Lafayette Club in Wolverhampton, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[3] The concert was also filmed by ATV as part of a TV documentary about the band and its eponymous singer.[4] A live version of "Danced" was released as a single at the end of 1980 to promote the album. Toyah! Toyah! Toyah! reached number 22 on the UK Albums Chart and number 3 on the UK Independent Albums Chart, and was subsequently certified silver in the UK in 1981 for selling more than 60,000 copies.[5]

The album saw its first CD release in 1990 on the Great Expectations label. A new remastered version 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. Six of the eight bonus tracks are previously unreleased. The new edition includes an introductory note from Toyah Willcox and a sleevenote by her archivist Craig Astley, in addition to rare live photographs. In May 2022, the album was re-released by Cherry Red Records, adding four live tracks previously cut from the album, and a DVD with the 1980 ATV documentary.[6]
