The Toy Shop were a great one non-hit wonder for me. Their single Attack Decade is one of my favorites of the era. I always lamented they never had more output. But now they do! The Toy Shop just released a 7" of some rare and unreleased versions of tracks. It's available for purchase here: http://www.juno.co.uk/artists/The+Toy+Shop/ I'm surprised I haven't seen anything here posted about it. It seems the band uploaded some rare video clips to Youtube! I think you guys will enjoy em.

They had a proposed follow up prepared. They even made a video for it. It's a remake of their 1981 single "The Maze"

They also made two videos for the b-side to "The Maze" "
The Toy Shop - Live Wires Kill (1981) 1st version
The Toy Shop - Live Wires Kill (1981) 2nd version
Oddly, my favorite Toy Shop track "Never Trust A Stranger" which was the b-side to "Attack Decade" isn't on the new 7" release, and it seems to have disappeared off the internet. Since that's the case, I've uploaded the track to Youtube for your enjoyment.

I hope you guys are as excited about this resurgence in Toy Shop activity as I am! That 7" is limited edition obviously, so grab it while you can. Enjoy!
