Прословутият „изгубен“ албум на David Bowie от 2001 „Toy“ най-накрая е издаден официално.

Един ден преди рождения ден на Bowie, днес 7 януари 2022 г., Toy (Toy: Box) получи дългоочакваното си официално издание, което най-накрая направи легендарния преди това неиздаван албум наличен на 3CD или шест 10” винила.

Албумът включва презаписани и обновени версии на някои от най-ранните песни на Bowie. Той трябваше да бъде пуснат като продължение на „Hours“ от 1999 г., но беше отложен след спор между Bowie и неговия лейбъл Virgin. Още през 2011 г. албумът изтече онлайн, а днес вече има и свое официално издание.
