Thunder In The Mountains

About Thunder In The Mountains

"Thunder in the Mountains" is the eighth UK single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in 1981. The single, which was not included on an album at the time, continued the success of previous hits. It reached number four in the UK Singles Chart in October 1981 and was again backed by an appearance on Top of the Pops plus a memorable video directed by Godley & Creme. Both sides of this single, and the 12" exclusive b-side "Voodoo Doll", were eventually included on several CD releases, "Thunder in the Mountains" and "Voodoo Doll" on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling, "Street Addict" on the 2002 reissue of Sheep Farming In Barnet/The Blue Meaning and they all also feature on the 2005 compilation The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983. The single also became the most collectible Toyah release to date, with several variations available. more »
