Minx
Minx was the first album released by Toyah Willcox as a solo artist. It has something of a controversial reputation as it represented a departure from her previous works, which tended toward thematic albums written almost in their entirety by Willcox and long-standing band members such as Joel Bogen and Phil Spalding. As an attempt to make a more "polished" pop album and to break into the U.S. market, a lot of artistic control was ceded to the producers leading to an unprecedented four cover versions from the original CD's 12 tracks. The lead single "Don't Fall in Love" was a hit in the UK, reaching the top 30, as did the album, but follow-up releases "Soul Passing Through Soul" and "World in Action" were less successful. The album became very hard to find in the 1990s, and before its 2005 reissue, CD copies were commanding high figures on e-bay.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Minx
mingks, n. a pert young girl: a jade: a she-puppy. [Contr. of minikin, with added s.]
