HANSHALF
TRIO Fashion Colours (TOY 4)
|
This
was the first Hanshalf Trio Cassette LPs to appear on TOYTOWN
and the first musical offering from Michael Nichols (not counting the Hans
Speaks Croatian track on Fingernails). The style conscious might like
to note the sleeve was fashionably attired in brown or green, we have it
on good authority that Milan was observing this.

| FANZINE
King Sid (TOY 5) |
|
I put the first edition
of this fanzine together when I was in England. The purpose of the zine
was to have a little fun with the pop stars of the time, it was also a
reaction to a lot of the music magazines around at the time which seemed
to be a lot of twaddle (has this changed? Oooh topical!).

HANSHALF
TRIO
The Four Elephants (TOY 6)
|
The
follow up to Fashion Colours.
Cassettes came in a nice lino print cardboard sleeve of an elephant (colours
varied but same elephant).

NOVELTY
GIFT Art Pak (TOY 7)
|
|
This was a cool collection
of junk, found objects and other stuff (TOYTOWN key rings who would
have thought it?) that made six people around the world very happy indeed.
Perhaps they could link up and start an exclusive club?

Hand painted T-Shirt
which featured the TOYTOWN crown. There was also a special message
featured on the reverse, my favourite was 'Move Over K-Tel!".

T-SHIRT
The Wash Daddies (TOY 9)
|
|
The Dad's T-Shirt
with name and funky little creatures, hand painted once more, naturalment.
|
|
T-SHIRT
Stinky Fire Engine (TOY 10)
|
|
The Stinky shirt featured
a hand painted and somewhat complex design involving the letters of the
band name. Only about four of these were ever made, I really must buy
a screen print.
