SHEEP FARMING IN BARNET

Description

Cherry Red Records is delighted to announce the much-anticipated remastered re-issue of Toyah’s debut album, “Sheep Farming In Barnet”, which kickstarts a programme of re-issues of Toyah’s entire Safari Records catalogue. Produced by Steve James and Keith Hale, the album reached No. 1 on the UK Independent Albums Chart in February 1980 and celebrates its fortieth anniversary in 2020. The 7-inch single Victims Of The Riddle (1979) was Toyah’s very first release and is included here. This was followed by a 6-track mini-album “Sheep Farming In Barnet” which contained three tracks per side on a 33 1/3 7-inch vinyl. This mini-album was then extended to an 11-track full album (originally for the German market) in early 1980 by adding the “Victims” 7" A-Side / B-Sides and some additional tracks also recorded at Chappell Studios, London.
