Toto With A Little Help From My Friends 180g 2LP (Transparent Vinyl)

Toto and Mascot Label Group have teamed up for Toto's newest release, With A Little Help From My Friends, available June 25 through The Players Club, an imprint of Mascot Label Group. This new album captures a performance from one special night on November 21, 2020 when Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams and David Paich appeared with the new line-up of Toto for a global event originating from Los Angeles, CA. With A Little Help From My Friends was Produced by Joseph Williams, who also edited the accompanying long-form video. The band's long-time front of house engineer Ken Freeman mixed and captured the sound that evening.

Joining Lukather, Williams and Paich for this next chapter in their indelible history are new band members bassist John Pierce (Huey Lewis and The News), drummer Robert "Sput" Searight (Ghost-Note / Snarky Puppy), and keyboardist and background vocalist Steve Maggiora (Robert Jon & The Wreck). Keyboardist Dominique "Xavier" Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note) and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr) segued over continuing their tenure in the ensemble. This marks the fifteenth incarnation of the Toto line-up in consideration of band members or sidemen who joined or exited. "When the music is performed by great musicians it honors Toto," offers founding member Steve Lukather. He adds, "Simply put, our goal is to bring the past Toto to the present and beyond, and this first look at the new line-up sets the stage for a chapter in our history we can't wait to write."
