Description:

The album "TOY" is like a moment of joy, a burning flame, energy captured in amber. Here is the sound of people who are delighted to be playing music. David was re-examining his own work from decades ago with the experience and fresh perspective he had gained, and now, 20 years later, I find myself returning to it again, so I guess it has the same meaning. He used to say, "Mark, this is our album. I guess he knew I was getting deep into it with him on this journey of digging into the old songs again. I am very happy to finally be able to say that this album belongs to all of us. The "TOY: BOX" will be released on January 7, 2022 as a special edition of the "TOY" album. The "capture the moment" approach to the recording sessions is also reflected in the cover artwork, designed by Bowie, which depicts a baby with the face of a grown-up Bowie.In addition to the "TOY" album, "TOY: BOX" contains alternative mixes and other versions of the album, as well as a new mix that Bowie liked based on the acoustic guitar sounds of Earl Slick and Mark Prati that were recorded during the recording sessions at the time. The album also includes a new mix of the original acoustic guitar sound of Earl Slick and Mark Prati, which Bowie also liked, with a focus on a simple vocal and guitar sound with a dash of electric guitar here and there. The "Toy Box" also includes a 16-page booklet with many previously unpublished photographs taken by Frank Ockenfels III. (2/2)
