Toy Dolls - A Far Out Disc (2022 Reissue) (LP)

Formed in Sunderland, the TOY DOLLS put working-class humour at the forefront of their take on punk, the three-chord format a launching pad for witty originals and clever covers. Sophomore set A Far Out Disc, released in 1985, saw the shifting line-up tackle the theme song of kiddies' TV show Razzamataz and deliver a blistering take of surf-rock standard Wipe Out; on originals like My Girlfriend's Dad's A Vicar, the hilarious Commercial Break and Bless You My Son, and the She Goes To Fino's recut, Olga's shrill shrieking leads the way. Another great TOY DOLLS album!
