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":44582752190697,"sku":"JO8U6S-IR6I-00","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy_nk3EL.jpg?v=1758998017","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/kevin-ayers-joy-of-a-toy","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
