Cuddly Toys debut album
from, first released only in Japan in 1979, a revamped version in the UK not
until 1981. An extended, limited edition
in red vinyl, with an obi-strip as had the import copies of the Japanese album. This new 2xLP version with the Japanese album

Cuddly Toys are the theatrical glam-punk band
evolved from the London glam shock-punk band Raped. Often noted for their
version of a Bowie/Bolan unreleased co-write, Madman, and cross-dressing
in an era when it was outrageous. Their
hot-panted Japanese drummer ‘Paddy Phield’ helped gain fans in his home
country.
An LP of Raped recordings was issued by US label
Puke’n’Vomit in 2024. Sadly, Singer Sean
Purcell died in 1996. Paddy continues a
Japanese version of the band: Cuddly ToyZ, with an album released and regular
gigs.

POSTAGE
The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 15-40p for packing materials.
There's
NO such thing as 'free postage'! Prices include 20% VAT on the postage
as well as the goods, ebay then take commission of 8-10% - on the item,
postage AND the VAT... and then ask you whether our postage charges are
'fair'. We don't 'include' postage, otherwise we can't offer reduced
postage for multiple items...
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
For multiple
items, there will be an automatic reduction in postage costs of 50% of
further items postage. BUT make sure you order them together, not
individually: FIRST ADD THEM ALL TO YOUR CART.
If you want to wait
for an accurate calculation: MAKE SURE you're on the ebay.CO.UK site,
not an overseas one. Put ALL the items into your basket, then go to
'Contact Seller'. Click on the 'Request total from seller' button.
We'll then weigh and recalculate your combined items postage and send
you an invoice. This may take a day or two; the postage may or may not
calculate as less.
DELIVERY TIME excludes weekends and Bank Holidays, which may be different in the UK from elsewhere.
Packets
to overseas destinations (particularly Italy, Russia, South America)
often take longer than advertised due to local customs delays.
OVERSEAS
POST is by Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet or parcel. Look for Ebay's
GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME in certain countries - it'll be cheaper. A

Ebay will update your order once it is sent, with tracking details there.
PACKAGING:
For vinyl we use sturdy card cruciforms, not envelopes, and if not
shrinkwrapped we remove discs from sleeves, to avoid sleeve splits. For
CDs we use corrugated cardboard, not jiffy bags.
