Box of Toys


Box of Toys were a short-lived British new wave band, consisting of members Brian Atherton, Andy Redhead, Phil Martin, and Roy Campbell. They released two singles, "I'm Thinking of You Now" in 1983, and "Precious Is the Pearl" in 1984.

History

Box of Toys were formed around the breakup of A Select Committee, a powerpop band consisting of members Brian Jones, Tim Lees, Steve Downey, Phil Martin and Andy Redhead. Two members from that band, Redhead and Martin, then teamed up with Roy Campbell and Brian Atherton to form Box of Toys. Before releasing any material, the quartet recorded a session with John Peel in April 1983. The band then released two singles, "I'm Thinking of You Now" in August 1983, and "Precious Is the Pearl" in 1984. The band ultimately split in late 1984, and its members went their separate ways. Andy Redhead formed the band 3D, with Johnny 'Riff' Reynolds and Brian Rawlins. Brian Atherton went on to form The Light.
