A deluxe 3CD/Blu-Ray edition of Chameleon - The Very Best of Toyah is the first career-spanning collection to encompass Toyah Willcox’s full recording history.
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.
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’. The previously unreleased ‘Worst In Me’ is a personal favourite of Toyah’s and comes from the album sessions by Sunday All Over The World (the band which Toyah and Robert Fripp formed in the late 1980s).
CD3 is exclusive to this edition and collects 17 rarities and collaborations from 1980-2024. Remastered rarities include an alternate mix of ‘Rinaphobia’ recorded with Blood Donor in 1980 alongside the first version of ‘It’s A Mystery’ committed to tape.
The box set is completed by the first ever Toyah Blu-Ray that brings together 12 promo videos, 22 classic BBC appearances and 6 songs from recent concerts.
A 48-page booklet includes rare photos, imagery and ephemera . Sleevenote contributions come from Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Saffron (Republica) reflect on the impact Toyah had on them personally.
