Toyah’s 1987’s solo album “Desire” is issued for the first time ever as a picture disc vinyl in a carefully curated Director’s Cut.

Desire was Toyah’s first LP for the EG label and was produced by Mike Hedges (Siouxsie & The Banshees) and engineered by Haydn Bendall (Hounds of Love). The album
includes an eclectic set of musicians with guest guitar spots from Ronnie Wood, Robert Fripp, and The League of Crafty Guitarists. The album’s lead single was a sparkling cover of the 1980 Martha & The Muffins’ new wave hit “Echo Beach” featuring Steve Sidelnyk on drums.

This special Director’s Cut version presents the album re-sequenced as the artist envisioned and features Re-Entry Into Dance, Sun Up and Mesmerised, all originally intended for the album’s track list. This collector’s edition is housed in an outer jacket with die-cut window featuring striking Toyah photographs on either side of the vinyl disc and rare Toyah imagery from the period across the package.
