The second pre-fame album by Toyah’s original lineup was a vast improvement on the am-dram pretensions of their debut, Sheep Farming In Barnet. True, the band were still prone to self-indulgence that should have stayed in the studio, notably the helium vocal wackiness of Spaced Walking and Blue Meanings’ overblown jam.
