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 is now on-sale 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 Initial orders will include an exclusive art card (that fits inside the box) featuring a previously unpublished Toyah image.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 Craig Astley who curated the box set.
The Twenty-Four From Toyah Box Set includes:
- 14 UK singles/EPs that charted in the UK Singles Chart and/or the Independent Singles Chart
