Toyah's solo album 'Take The Leap!' is issued as an expanded Deluxe 2CD Edition for the first time. Packaged in deluxe 7-inch-sized gatefold packaging, it continue the series of expanded solo Toyah albums released by Edsel. Toyah's 1994 studio album was recorded with Salisbury band Friday Forever and includes eight re-recordings of classic Toyah material and six original compositions. CD1 adds four bonus tracks of which three are previously unreleased. This includes demos of album tracks 'Invisible Love' and 'Lust for Love', first recorded in 1992 with Kiss of Reality. CD2 contains 16 rarities with seven of these previously unreleased. CD2 features the long-awaited release of original material Toyah wrote with members of Girlschool for their 'supergroup' project Strange Girls, who played live UK gigs and supported The Beach Boys in Germany. Long desired by fans who saw the Strange Girls live gigs; these three studio demos were recorded in 1991 but have remained unheard until their rediscovery in 2025. Further rarities, demos and remixes include a rehearsal demo of live Strange Girls favourite 'King of Pain' and previously unreleased home demos recorded with Cris Bonacci. The booklet contains rare and unseen photography from the album original shoot. A new sleevenote by Toyah archivist Craig Astley chronicles the 1991-1994 period and reveals how the solo album Toyah originally envisaged from the extensive material recorded in 1992 morphed into the Take the Leap! project.
