Toyah - Ophelia's Shadow (Pict) (Uk) [LP]

Toyah's 1991 solo album Ophelia's Shadow is issued on limited edition picture disc vinyl for the first time ever. The picture disc features colour images on each side of the vinyl and is housed in special die-cut vinyl outer sleeves containing previously unseen colour photography from the album shoot. A personal favourite album of her catalogue, Toyah confirms: "Above all, this is the one album I have made that truly represents me. I'm fiercely proud of it. Ophelia's Shadow is not just a record, it's a reflection of who I was, who I am, and who I continue to become. It's the sound of resilience, reinvention, and raw truth." The album features a band line-up including Trey Gunn on stick, Paul Beavis on drums and Tony Geballe on guitar. Two tracks, Brilliant Day and Lords Of The Never Known feature Robert Fripp on guitar and were originally played live by Sunday All Over The World, the band Toyah & Robert Fripp toured and recorded with in the late 1980s.
