Minx (Toyah album)
Minx is a 1985 album by the British singer Toyah Willcox, released by Portrait Records. It was her first album as a solo artist and spawned the moderate hit "Don't Fall in Love (I Said)". Background. Although still credited simply as "Toyah" (which was the name of the band she fronted up until 1984), the album was technically the start of Willcox's career as a solo artist, and her first LP for a major label, Portrait Records (part of the CBS group) after she left the independent label Safari which had released all of her  music up until then. "Minx" was to be Toyah's only album for Portrait. The album represented a departure from her previous works, which tended toward thematic albums written almost in their entirety by Willcox and long-standing band members such as Joel Bogen and Phil Spalding. As an attempt to make a more "polished" pop album and supposedly to break into the U.S. market, a lot of artistic control was ceded to the producers leading to an unprecedented four cover versions from the original CD's 12 tracks. The material was produced by Christopher Neil. Cover photograph was taken  by Terence Donovan. The lead single "Don't Fall in Love (I Said)" was a hit in the UK and Ireland, reaching the top 40, but follow-up releases "Soul Passing Through Soul" and "World in Action" were less successful. "Minx" debuted and peaked at number 24 in the UK and was Toyah's only entry on the pan-European albums chart (at number 81). It was particularly popular in Israel. The album, which was out of print by the 1990s, was reissued in 2005 with bonus tracks. In 2020, it was released as part of the "Toyah Solo" box  set and subsequently reissued on red vinyl.
