Four CD set compiling everything Lene Lovich released for Stiff Records between 1978 and 1983. Toy Box is the ultimate compilation of Lene's years with Stiff; her name so synonymous with the label. With a striking appearance and sound to match, Lene Lovich arrived at Stiff Records in the summer of 1978, surfing the new wave and the subsequent 'Be Stiff' UK tour. DISC 1: Stateless (Original Mix) is the debut album released in October 1978. Including 'Lucky Number', 'Say When' and a gloriously retro cover of Tommy James & The Shondells hit, 'I Think We're Alone Now'. Bonus tracks include various versions of 'Lucky Number' in development (early B-Side version, Instrumental and rare US Slavic Dance 12" version), together with a Japanese version of 'I Think We're Alone Now'. DISC 2: Stateless (US/UK Remix) - released in 1979 to accompany a remixed 'Lucky Number' became a surprise Top 3 UK hit and it's subsequent release in the States. Bonus tracks include several live recordings from Lene's UK and USA tours in early 1980. DISC 3: Flex - the eagerly awaited follow up to Stateless released at the dawning of the 80s. Bonus tracks include 1981's dancefloor friendly 'New Toy' penned by keyboard wunderkind Thomas Dolby (playing in Lene's touring band at the time) plus tracks from the US only 'New Toy' mini-album. DISC 4: No Man's Land - Lene's final album for Stiff Records in 1982. Bonus tracks include the original Sanremo Music Festival single version of 'Blue Hotel' and a plethora of UK and US dance remixes of 'It's You, Only You (Mein Schmerz)' and 'Blue Hotel' maintaining Lene's cult status, particularly in the States, both on college radio and an MTV in it's infancy.
