Toyah – Love Is The Law

Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. Toyah's 1983 studio album 'Love Is The Law' was the final album for the Safari label. This new remastered and expanded deluxe edition follows the acclaimed series of remastered deluxe editions of four studio albums and four live albums that chronicle the band's recording history from 1979-1983. Reaching no. 28 in the UK album charts in November 1983, the album was written and recorded by Toyah, Joel Bogen and Simon Darlow while Toyah appeared as the lead in the successful theatre production of Trafford Tanzi at the Mermaid Theatre. Previewed by the single 'Rebel Run', the album also includes fan favourites 'Dreamscape', 'Martian Cowboy' and one of Toyah's long-term personal favourites, 'I Explode'. The title track features a group of fans singing on the song's chorus after being invited into the Marquee Studios, Soho one evening in August 1983. Side Two's final track 'The Vow' was issued as a second single in December 1983. Alongside Toyah and Joel Bogen (co-writer/guitars), Simon Darlow played keyboards on the album. Phil Spalding contributed bass to several tracks on the album while guests included bassist Brad Lang (The Lexicon of Love) and Andy Duncan (Wham!'s 'Fantastic' album) on drums/percussion. This release features the album remastered from the original mastertapes by Nick Watson, overseen by Joel Bogen.
