TOYAH - Love Is The Law - Remastered (Translucent Red Vinyl)

Toyah’s 1983 studio album ‘Love Is The Law’ was the final album for the Safari label.
This new remastered edition follows the acclaimed series of remastered LP releases 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 new release is pressed on translucent red vinyl and is remastered from the original
mastertapes by Nick Watson, overseen by Joel Bogen.
The LP artwork features newly scanned archive negatives from the same photo shoot to both
refresh the visuals with an alternate front and back and to achieve a high quality print finish.
This means this new LP and the original become collector’s editions.
A new inner bag includes further unseen images from the LP’s photo shoot at Welwyn Garden
City.
A facsimile of the lyrics printed on the original inner bag is also included as an additional
insert.
