Deluxe expanded two CD edition. Toyah”s solo album Minx was released in July 1985 on CBS”s label Portrait Records (home at the time to Cyndi Lauper), presenting a sophisticated sound and image for Toyah Willcox who to date had enjoyed eight top 75 singles and five studio albums with the band Toyah. Minx was produced by Christopher Neil, with a musician line-up featuring Peter Van Hooke, Ian Wherry and Adrian Lee who made up the majority of Mike Rutherford”s Mike + The Mechanics. The rhythm section of Killing Joke guested on a cover of “”School”s Out””. Toyah collaborator Simon Darlow played keyboards and co-wrote several tracks including lead single Don”t Fall In Love (I Said). The album also features unique readings of Latin Quarter”s “”America For Beginners”” and Rare Bird”s “”Sympathy””, the latter being the first time Toyah would be heard accompanied by an orchestra.
