This looks great! I was worried than Cherry Red might go down the 'clam shell' route of Safari albums, this beyond my expectations!

Well, I'm in!

Hope they do a similar job on The Blue Meaning.

Nice package and a decent price for the goods, but I can't afford to re-buy every album of every artist I once collected. Will live with my 1st pressing on "Great Expectations" and the remaster of "Mayhem." I will get the "Warrior Rock" since I missed out on getting that when it was in print.

I loved Toyah's Safari years 1979-83 and hope that CR does a good job in the presentation. By the looks of it on their website it looks like its well compiled and packaged. Let's hope the sound quality is good.

got confirmation on Facebook through Toyah's official website that these are remastered from the the original tapes.

Got my copy at the weekend, and I'm loving it. The unreleased material is great, especially the 1978 demos - much darker and rather proggier than anything on the final SFiB album. More like the feel of The Blue Meaning.
