The Acoustic Album is a studio album by the British singer Toyah Willcox, released in 1996. It is a collection of acoustic re-recordings of songs from her back catalogue.
The material was recorded in 1994 [1] and consisted of new, stripped-down versions of classic hits as well as lesser-known, non-single tracks from the Toyah band and Willcox's solo repertoire. Some tracks feature string arrangements performed by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. [2] The material was originally conceived as part of a double album Toyah Classics which would have also comprised its 'electric' accompaniment Looking Back, slated for release in March 1995. [3] The two sets would eventually be released individually as separate albums. In 2014, The Acoustic Album was re-released by Vertical Species in digital and CD formats, with a new artwork by Alan Sawyers and photography by Dean Stockings. [4]
