LIVING IN A BOX (1987) - Full Album Listen & My Toy-Diorama Series

WHO-IS: "Living in a Box is a British band founded in 1985. They are best known for their eponymous debut single, produced by Richard James Burgess. The group currently consists of founding members Anthony "Tich" Critchlow (drums) and Marcus Vere (synthesizers) along with vocalist Kenny Thomas.". (Source)

All these years of listening them and having then apart of my music memories, I'd never known they were a "British" band until researching for this blogpost...! I've always been reminded of Frontman Richard Darbyshire's vocals and rugged good looks, and had always remembered "Living In A Box" to be him, unfortunately for the rest of the band.



4 singles were released from the album; "Love is the Art", "So the Story Goes" and "Scales of Justice", with "Living In a Box" the most memorable for me. Featured below are MVs and sounds from their album (the band have since broken up), and as well a lil'delve into my TOY-WORLD...

The album or rather than name "Living In a Box" also somewhat inspired me to kitbash a series of toy-dioramas using 1/6th-scales figures and accessories / props I had been (actively) collecting at the time, and posted on my TOYSREVIL (as "Toy Pix A Day") circa the year 2006 (!), which I am reproducing here today :)

My only regret was not uploading higher-res images (they were stored in my desktop when it crashed decades ago SOOOOOOOOB)...
