TOY DOLLS "Ten Years of Toys" LP

To celebrate their first decade of existence, Sunderland’s ironic punk trio, Toy Dolls, issued the retrospective Ten Years Of Toys, but rather than using the standard-issue “Greatest Hits” formula, the group chose to re-cut nuggets from their career so far, using the then-current line-up of frontman Olga, bassist Dean Robson and drummer Martin Yule. Thus, tracks like “Dougy Giro,” “Fiery Jack” and “Glenda And The Test Tube Baby” are given new leases on life with a brighter, fuller sound and the inclusion of hard-to-find tracks such as “I’ve Got Asthma” and “Tommy Kowey’s Car” add to the appeal. 2021 release from Radiation Reissues (Italy). Includes an exclusive photo licensed by VIVE LE ROCK photographer Per-Ake Wärn in a folded 60x60cm poster.
