Description
- CD and DVD set containing all 13 songs as performed at the momentous concert at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, with two songs from the broadcast reinstated following their cut from a 1982 VHS video release.
- Exclusive to the CD are three bonus audio tracks recorded live in Milan on the band’s Winter Tour, which culminated in the Drury Lane concerts on 23/24 December 1981. These three rarely performed tracks are ‘Stand Proud’, ‘Urban Tribesmen’ and ‘Pop Star’ and come from a previously unreleased sound desk concert recording, courtesy of Joel Bogen.
- With a 24-page colour booklet including an introduction by Toyah and new sleevenotes by Craig Astley, Toyah’s archivist who compiled this release.
- Featuring brand new artwork including photography of Toyah’s iconic stage entrance for the gig, 20ft above the band and Rare and previously unseen photographs of the band’s Drury Lane concert the day before (23 Dec 1981) from the Safari Records archive also illustrate the CD booklet.
Toyah, the band, were invited by the BBC to play a special live concert on 24 December 1981 for broadcast live on BBC2 for The Old Grey Whistle Test Christmas Special. Simultaneously the concert was broadcast in stereo on BBC Radio 1. The much-loved Christmas Eve 1981 concert was watched by an astonishing 12 million television viewers.
Following a year of top ten hit singles in 1981 plus the Gold-selling album ‘Anthem’, the band closed out the year with this fantastic energetic and celebratory concert. Previously only ever available on a BBC VHS video cassette in 1982, this release marks the first time the stereo audio has been released.
This CD+DVD package includes the first ever DVD release of the full concert broadcast and its debut audio release.
The band line-up for this concert saw Toyah Willcox (vocals), Joel Bogen (guitar) and Adrian Lee (keyboards) joined by acclaimed drummer Simon Phillips.
