Reissues and Alternate Versions of Album Tracks
Toy World has never been reissued, and is consequently one of the rarest Cardiacs releases. However, many of the pieces from it have either been reissued on other Cardiacs releases or have had live versions appearing on other albums.
- "Over (outtake)", "Over + Over + Over + Over", "A BIG NOISE In A Toy World", "Verses" and "A Time For Rejoicing" have never been reissued in any form. The last three of these tracks will never be re-released as the master tape on which they were recorded is no longer available.
- "Nurses Whispering Verses" was re-recorded for the 1984 album The Seaside (but left off the 1995 CD reissue). A third version was recorded for the 1995 album Sing to God.
- "Verses" is actually a section of "Nurses Whispering Verses" played backwards. It has never been reissued.
- "Is This The Life?" was re-recorded for the 1984 album The Seaside (but left off the 1995 CD reissue). A third version was recorded for the 1988 album A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window.
- "Aukamakic", "Icky Qualms", "SCRATCHING CRAWLING SCRAWLING" and "AS COLD AS CAN BE IN AN ENGLISH SEA" were all included on the 1989 Archive Cardiacs compilation.
- "TRADEMARK" (under the variant title of "My Trademark") was also included on the 1989 Archive Cardiacs compilation.
- Live versions of "Aukamacic", "My Trademark", "SCRATCHING CRAWLING SCRAWLING" and "AS COLD AS CAN BE IN AN ENGLISH SEA" appeared on the 2005 live album The Special Garage Concerts Vol I.
- Live versions of "Icky Qualms" and "Dead Mouse" appeared on the 2005 live album The Special Garage Concerts Vol II.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate, versions, album and/or tracks:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
