Toyah Prostitute Limited Deluxe Picture Disc Vinyl LP
Overview:
Issued for the first time ever as a picture disc vinyl is Toyah’s 1988 solo album "Prostitute". Toyah's most experimental and bold album and comes with newly re-imagined artwork with rare imagery from the time. The collector’s edition is housed in an outer jacket with die-cut window featuring Toyah images on either side of the vinyl disc. Side Two closes on a locked groove.
A fiercely independent lyrical work, it is sonically also a radical departure from previous albums comprising drums, vocal and guitar meshed with a scrapbook of samples and found sound. Toyah explains: “I would get up at four in the morning and capture the dawn chorus, record church bells,
snippets of conversations and producer Tony Arnold would marry them into the tracks. We worked as if we were compiling a scrapbook with glue and paper, old newspaper cuttings, lost love letters, odd thoughts and tons of fractured emotions.”
The album was written and played entirely by Toyah Willcox and Steve Sidelnyk who went on to record and play live with Madonna (Ray of Light, Music), Seal and Richard Ashcroft, amongst many others.
