Toy Love are getting inducted to the NZ Music Hall of Fame at the NZ Music Awards on Nov 1. To celebrate this grand occasion, Real Groovy has a few plans up their sleeves...
"Following on from their release of Toy Love Live At The Gluepot for Record Store Day 2012, Real Groovy were ecstatic to hear Toy Love are the 2012 Legacy award recipients at this year’s NZ Music Awards. They are now proud to announce the release of the Toy Love Double LP, mastered for vinyl, straight from the original analogue tapes, no nasty CDs nor digital sources were used at all.
Release day is November 3.
Collecting all the A & B sides of the three Toy Love singles, plus the best demos from 1979, a live track and a jingle – there are 28 tracks in total.
A 24 page booklet will accompany the release, with the first 400 copies being pressed on split coloured vinyl – so each disc is duo coloured. For one day only this exclusive split coloured double LP will be available for $49-95 and only available from Real Groovy in person.
PRE-ORDERS for the black vinyl will be taken from Wednesday 10th October - while stocks last. All tracks have been licensed from Flying Nun for this New Zealand release
