Description

Pretty Boy Floyd – Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz (1989)
1989 MCA Records First Pressing : UK Vinyl : VG+ Sleeve : G+ (Split to top edge 1")
Awesome original pressing of album treated by many as a bit of a joke at the time but the band have prevailed and now this albums has it's place as a classic among the latter day, over-saturated period of Sunset Strip focussed rock. Utterly shameless, blameless, mindless fun from start to finish and although there is a small split in the top of the cover (less than an inch) the vinyl is completely clean and looks like it's had minimal use. 
Too much fun for words (and a Motley Crue cover to boot!).
Go get your makeup on, get your neon spandex back from the dry cleaners and get bidding!
Keep an eye on some of my other auctions as I will be listing some more off-the-beaten-path 80's hard rock, glam, pop-metal and AOR vinyl. Low start bid so you may get to grab yourself a bargain.

Happy bidding!

ALLMUSIC REVIEW : Leather Boyz With Electric Toy Review by Alex Henderson (who clearly doesn't get it at all ha!)
A lot of inspired hard rock came out of the 1980s, but that decade also produced a glut of faceless "clone bands" that hadn't even a trace of originality. One of the most glaring and shameless examples was Pretty Boy Floyd, a so-called "glam-metal" unit known for its androgynous look and ultra-heavy makeup. Derivative of bands like Bon Jovi, Ratt and Quiet Riot but never even a fraction as exciting, Pretty Boy Floyd earned a following in the late '80s offering commercial hard rock at its most generic. From "Rock and Roll Outlaws" to "Only the Young" and "Wild Angels," everything on the cliché-ridden Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz smacks of formula and sounds like the result of a marketing meeting rather than genuine artistic inspiration.
