Joy Of A Toy is his debut solo album, its whimsical and unique vision is a clear indication of how Soft Machine might have progressed under Ayers' tenure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a Soft Machine tour of the USA with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Ayers had decided to retire from the music business. Hendrix however, presented Ayers with an acoustic Gibson J-200 guitar on the promise that he continue his songwriting. Ayers retreated to a small London flat where he composed and arranged Joy Of A Toy. It was on this album that Ayers developed his sonorous vocal delivery, an avant-garde approach to song construction and an affection for bizarre instrumentation that would have a deep influence far into the 1970s and indeed the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Joy Of A Toy Continued\u003cbr\u003eA2 Town Feeling\u003cbr\u003eA3 The Clarietta Rag\u003cbr\u003eA4 Girl On A Swing\u003cbr\u003eA5 Song For Insane Times\u003cbr\u003eB1 Stop This Train (Again Doing It)\u003cbr\u003eB2 Eleanor'S Cake (Which Ate Her)\u003cbr\u003eB3 Lady Rachel\u003cbr\u003eB4 Oleh Oleh Bandu Bandong\u003cbr\u003eB5 All This Crazy Gift Of Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"hide_mobile label_and_cat\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Sealed (New)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl, Parlophone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48472599363777,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1407\/4970\/files\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy.jpg?v=1768534959","url":"https:\/\/hathillrecords.com.au\/products\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy-vinyl-lp","provider":"Hat Hill Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
