{"product_id":"kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy-1","title":"Joy Of A Toy","description":"Personnel includes: Kevin Ayers (vocals); Paul Buckmaster (cello); Paul Minns (oboe); David Bedford (piano); Mike Ratledge (keyboards); Hugh Hopper, Jeff Clyne (bass); Robert Wyatt, Rob Tait (drums); Jean, Mary, Cyrille Ayers, Sean Murphy (background vocals).\nAyers left the Soft Machine for a solo career when his basic pop leanings appeared at odds with the intense jazz\/rock of his former colleagues. This album was a cult favourite at the end of the 60s for no reason other than that Ayers was well liked because he was ever so slightly mad. Take a look and listen at the content of this album: 'Song For Insane Times', 'Eleanor's Cake (Which Ate Her)' and 'Stop This Train (Again Doing It)'. Through the haze of quirkiness there is a strong light melodic feel to much of the music, and Ayers did possess a heartbreaker voice that prompted one woman to state, 'he is the sexiest man in the world'.","brand":"Kevin Ayers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44582752223465,"sku":"QIAXOK-1C2N-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy_OFkzh.jpg?v=1758997882","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy-1","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
