5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece awaiting its return, 5 Mar 2002
By A Customer
With the commercial success of "Anthem" Toyah was always going to find it difficult to respond, but she did and produced a much better, tighter, more superior quality recording in "The Changeling." 1982 was a strange crossroads for Toyah. With "Good Morning Universe" doing so well as her second EP, "Brave New World" required her to break new ground and barriers in the singles chart by taking the pop and turning it into a fitting finale for the period of music that bridged punk with the forthcoming soft 80s. "Brave New World" also became the finale to "The Changeling" - a complete masterpiece. The highlights start with "Street Creature" but really it was side two of the original vinyl starting with "The Packt" and ending with "Brave New World" that just required that all important relistening over and over. "Run Wild Run Free" is probably the greatest track ever to be recorded by Toyah and its segue into "Brave New World" is a careful piece of editing. "Run Wild Run Free" alone more than justified the purchase of the Vinyl in 1982 and to hear it enhanced on CD is fantastic. Go for it, Toyah is the original warrior queen, enjoy reliving your youth, play it loud, play it proud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, 18 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Ok I admit I'm an original fan (showing my age now, I'm 37!) but it's great not only to revisit my youth but listening to this is more than just nostalgia. After just listening to Radiohead I think this really does hold up after all these years (and no I'm not joking, though younger fans are going to scoff at this). I think this album holds up the best out of all her or rather I should say their, albums (Toyah was a group, and as a musician myself I knew the other band members got fed up with this lack of distinction) The later albums kind of sunk into inane pop as she/they ran out of ideas, but The Changeling is darker and the title is perfect, it's a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi and many other things that came out of her fertile imagination. It's great to have the extra tracks (even if it does have yet another version of "Ieya"), most of which like "Voodoo Doll" only appeared on 12" vinyl single and other obscure sources(which I still have) so many people havn't heard it, but it always deserved to be on an album proper I thought. Buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toyah Elfin Goddess, 29 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Brilliant CD & thank you Connissuer for recreating the original artwork & adding the bonus tracks. This was a great album way back in 1982 and has stood the test of time, not as commercial as Anthem (another brilliant album) much more kooky & raw. There is not 1 weak track on this CD & the inclusion of the b-sides is fantastic. Creepy room, Angel & Me and Vodoo Doll, are all mind blowing stuff. this Album was a huge influence on me & its great to see it finally reissued on CD again for a whole new barmy army of fans. Worth the money for the sleeve alone!
