Looking Back (Toyah album)
Encyclopedia
Looking Back was the Toyah Willcox
's seventh solo album, and, like Take The Leap!
before it, contained re-recordings of classic Toyah
tracks. The album was an 'electric' accompaniment to The Acoustic Album
, released the same year.
Produced by Oliver Davis.
My success has always been due to my fans, since 1979, maybe even earlier. I've had a following that has been constant and supportive of my choices as a singer and actress. Some of these fans met at my concerts and married, and now have children, some now even work for me. I'm ever grateful to them and with our history in mind Looking Back was made, and who knows a few newcomers may join the Tribe too.
Be Proud, Be Loud Be Heard.
