TOYAH - Warrior Rock - Toyah On Tour (Expanded Edition) - 3CD [MAY 17]

3CD Digipack- Classic 1982 Live Double Album Remastered from the Original Tapes. Deluxe Expanded 3CD Set featuring 26 previously unreleased bonus tracks from 11 gigs recorded at 9 venues on Toyah's 25-date UK tour of Summer '82.

Remastered and expanded release of Toyah’s 1982 Top 20 album. Originally released as a live double album in October 1982, Warrior Rock was recorded at Hammersmith Odeon, London across the final two nights of the tour. The album presents 15 songs centred around material from the band’s Top Ten albums Anthem and The Changeling. The album is named after ‘Warrior Rock’, the B-Side of Toyah’s 1982 single ‘Brave New World’. The band’s hit singles ‘It’s A Mystery’, ‘I Want To Be Free’ and ‘Thunder In The Mountains’ all feature on the album alongside fan favourites ‘Ieya’, ‘Danced’ and ‘War Boys’.

This expanded re-issue now documents ‘The Changeling Tour’, Toyah’s highly successful run of 25 UK concert dates in June/July 1982 in a more comprehensive fashion. The 3CD set was compiled by Craig Astley and Joel Bogen and presents 41 remastered tracks from master tapes/archive sources featuring 26 previously unreleased bonus tracks. A total of 19 different songs feature from 11 different gigs, recorded at nine different locations. For the first time ever, the “four sides” of the original live double album are included on CD - unabridged and uncut. Nick Watson/Fluid Mastering has remastered the package from the original master tapes and archive sources, overseen by Joel Bogen. A wealth of bonus tracks have been unearthed from the archives to provide both a glimpse backstage at concert preparations, and act as a definitive souvenir of the tour’s journey across the UK.
