Toyah is pleased to announce on 4 December 2026, Cherry Red Records will release Twenty-Four From Toyah, a 24CD box set celebrating Toyah’s singles discography with extensive bonus tracks, deluxe packaging and previously unreleased material.
The box set will be on-sale from 10:00am on Friday 18 September 2026 from Cherry Red Records. Initial orders will include an exclusive art card (that fits inside the box) featuring a previously unpublished Toyah image.
It chronicles a run of singles and EPs from 1979–1987 issued on the labels Safari Records, Portrait and EG Records. It marks the first time these Toyah singles have been released on this format. Each CD single contains the A-Side, B-Sides, mixes, rarities and relevant outtakes, plus selected live recordings. 21 of the total 197 tracks are previously unreleased.
An ultimate collector’s item, this limited edition deluxe release is a crescendo to the Toyah Safari catalogue being reissued and expanded since 2020 and follows the recently acclaimed retrospectives Chameleon/The Very Best Of Toyah (2025) and Revelations/B-Sides & Rarities (2026). Chameleon has been nominated for Best Catalogue Release in the AIM Association of Independent Music Awards 2026, and Revelations charted at no. 7 in the Official Independent Album Chart.
The box set houses 24 Picture Disc CDs in card wallets, with the recognisable single artwork reimagined with rare or previously unseen imagery from the original photoshoots. The box set artwork is inspired by the striking visuals from the Top 10 EP Four From Toyah and features gold foil blocked hieroglyphics and lettering. A 56-page booklet details each single’s release information, chart positions, recording dates, images of related artwork and ephemera plus trivia compiled by Toyah’s archivist who curated the box set.

It’s my birthday and I’ll celebrate Toyah if I want to :) Today I turned 59!!! I’m now in my 60th year. To mark the announcement of Twenty-Four From Toyah I’m also celebrating the artwork from one of my favourite Toyah singles/EPs, the gorgeous reverse of the Four More From Toyah sleeve from November 1981, released when I was just 14.

We – Alec, Sharon and me – had a great, and very colourful, day out in Edinburgh to celebrate all three of our birthdays, but mostly Alec’s (Sharon and I will be having another day out for ours, as they are only three days apart, very soon!). We paid a visit to Paddington – we always do – on St Andrew Square and then had breakfast at The Standing Order. Later on we had an amazing birthday afternoon tea at gorgeous Tigerlily in Morningside, which took a couple of hours and was a lot of fun, with delicious food. We spent the remainder of the day in Edinburgh’s Old Town, including on the Royal Mile, at the Castle and Victoria Street. Such a fantastic day!

The singer would choose this low-impact workout over the gym any day – and research suggests it can improve strength, fitness and mental wellbeing

Experts often refer to the health benefits of being near water as ‘blue health’. And there’s growing evidence that simply spending time in these environments can boost wellbeing.
One systematic review examining ‘blue space interventions for health and wellbeing’ found significant positive effects, particularly for psychological wellbeing.

Toyah: Revelations. Box Set Review
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
King’s Heath in Birmingham might not be that well known to anyone outside of the second city, but it has produced an astonishing number of people to whom art and sport have been fortunate to have graced the suburb, to have been influenced by the leafy green former village and the possibility of being part of a new breed of hero for the post-war generation.
Part of that incredible rebellious, heroic stance comes from Toyah Willcox, the chameleon look ever changing, a woman to whom no was just a two letter word that deserved a choice set of words in return, and who was perhaps the most wonderful sense of anarchy that anyone could ever hope to find in a period that produced the most exuberant of punk, this was the crowned Queen for Birmingham’s youth.
Following on from the Cherry Red boxset release from 2025 of Chameleon: The Very Best Of Toyah, the brand have really gone to town and brought to the public’s attention a set of CDs in Revelations detailing a huge swathe of tracks that were lost, unreleased, hidden away, and now lovingly restored to their rightful place in the Toyah pantheon of music.

A very special “tour date”… I had a great day in London last Friday with my amazing friend of almost 30 years, Su. I caught a very early flight from Glasgow Airport to Luton, got the Dart link, then the train and tube to Angel in Islington and was at Su’s front door by 10.30am, ready for a busy day. We had a great catch up – Su makes a lovely cup of tea – then headed to the The C.A.A. (Club for Acts and Actors), which is a wonderful club which Su is the President of. We then met up with a couple of Su’s friends, Paul and Iain, and headed to Browns in Covent Garden for a fantastic lunch. After that myself and Su took a trip to Soho and spent some time in Coven and Old Compton’s Bar, before returning to Su’s house for a rest. Later I caught the tube and train to Stanstead Airport for a late flight back home to Glasgow. What a day… Amazing.

It’s that time of year again – September – when I start working on the fanzines for Christmas (well they are completed, printed and in the post early December, which is technically Christmas), and these mark 70 issues of the (A5) fanzine. These will focus on “Ultimate Changeling” and there’s also an A4 Special (#5) dedicated to Toyah’s 1980 studio album, The Blue Meaning. That issue is the third of an A4 trilogy of issues, with #3 The Changeling and #4 Anthem. The Holy Safari Trinity!
