Issued for the first time ever as a picture disc vinyl is Toyahs1988 solo album “Prostitute“. Toyah’s most experimentaland bold album and comes with newly re-imagined artworkwith rare imagery from the time. The collectors edition ishoused in an outer jacket with die-cut window featuringToyah images on either side of the vinyl disc. Side Twocloses on a locked groove.

A fiercely independent lyrical work, it is sonically also aradical departure from previous albums comprising drums,vocal and guitar meshed with a scrapbook of samples andfound sound. Toyah explains: I would get up at four in themorning and capture the dawn chorus, record church bells,snippets of conversations and producer Tony Arnold wouldmarry them into the tracks. We worked as if we werecompiling a scrapbook with glue and paper, old newspapercuttings, lost love letters, odd thoughts and tons of fracturedemotions.

The album was written and played entirely by Toyah Willcoxand Steve Sidelnyk who went on to record and play live withMadonna (Ray of Light, Music), Seal and Richard Ashcroft,amongst many others.
