Mayhem is a compilation album by Toyah, released in 1985, a collection of previously unreleased material consisting mostly of demos and tracks not included on previous albums. When the band left Safari Records, the record company found enough material to compile one last album; this was apparently done without the consent of the band members. In spite of that, it was well received by the band's fans.
"Of all the albums I wish had not been released Mayhem is the one. It's sub standard, with songs not intended for release. In fact it makes my blood boil when I think of the plain exploitation of this album, but hopefully it never sold many copies. The songs on it were rehearsal demos, never intended for anything other than workshopping ideas", Toyah commented later.
