These recordings lay in the vaults for 20 years and were drawn from sessions that Bowie embarked upon immediately following his revered 2000 appearance at Glastonbury. Many of the tracks included here are reinterpretations of songs originally released during his pre-fame 1960s period. However,
Toy was initially canned when enough fresh material was produced to comprise 2002's
Heathen. While the basic
Toy album appears on the 2021 collection,
Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001), this deluxe edition includes two additional discs of alternate mixes. ~ James Wilkinson
