"Sphinx/For You" was a promotional single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was given away free with Flexipop Magazine in the Autumn of 1981. Both tracks were recorded in the recording sessions for the Anthem album and produced by Nick Tauber. Neither track were included Anthem however.

Neither track on the release was issued on an album at the time, though the popularity of Sphinx meant it found its way onto the 1984 compilation Toyah! Toyah! Toyah!. Both sides of this single were eventually included on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling (album).
