Long-lived spunk outfit Toy Dolls formed in Sunderland, England, in October of 1979, in the beginning comprising isaac Bashevis Singer Pete Zulu (born Peter Robson), guitar player Olga (Michael Algar), bassist Flip (Duke of Edinburgh Dugdale), and drummer Mr. Colin Scott. Within a month, and afterward just a handful of gigs, Zulu left the mathematical group, the low gear in a apparently dateless identification number of card changes to follow in the sexual climax age; with novel frontman Hud lasting just now one live date, Olga in agreement to acquire vocal duties, and the leftover Toy Dolls continued as a triad. By the time the group's debut single, "Tommy Kowey's Car," followed in mid-1980, Mr. Scott had exited the lineup as well, with a procession of drummers filling in earlier the comer of Teddy Toy Doll (aka Graham Edmundson) toward the end of the twelvemonth. A handful of compilation tracks including "She's a Worky Ticket" and "Deirdre's a Slag" (a potshot at Enthronization Street virtuoso Deirdre Barlow) farther cemented Toy Dolls' absurdist leanings, and following the exit of Teddy Toy Doll the group tapped drummer Happy Bob (aka Robert Kent, world Health Organization had previously teamed with Olga in the Showbiz Kids) as his successor, issuing a self-financed, self-titled EP in September of 1981.
The individual "Everybody Jitterbug" appeared on EMI the future spring, and in 1983 Toy Dolls issued their long-awaited full-length debut, Dig That Groove Baby. After a enlistment in support of the Angelic Upstarts, both Flip and Happy Bob left the band, however, leaving Olga the sole surviving original member; the revolving lineups continued, just in 1984 a re-recorded version of the before single "Nellie the Elephant" contract with bassist Bonny Baz (Barry Warne) and drummer Dicky (Malcolm Dick) reached the Top Five on the U.K. pop out charts. The LP A Far Out Disc followed in 1985, trailed a twelvemonth by and by by Idle Gossip; despite the usual force turnover, the group noted its number 1 decennary of existence in 1989 with Ten-spot Years of Toys. Amazingly sufficiency, another strong x of new music was forthcoming, with few changes to the band's creative access and legion changes to their roster. Cleopatra Records feted the lot on its twentieth anniversary with the release of the best-of collection The Wonderful World of the Toy Dolls.
