This is another of my treasured vinyls from when I grew up in New Zealand
I LOVE music, all music but its now time to find a new home for these records.
I am hoping this vinyl will find it's way to someone who also appreciates great (or quirky) New Zealand originated music.
The vinyl is first visually inspected and then played ENTIRELY. None of this "played the first 30 seconds" stuff that I see some record sellers claim, what good is that?
Visual inspections can be deceptive, the only real way to judge a record is to actually play the whole record entirely (unless still sealed of course)
The Tigers formed a couple years before this album, you could catch them in the Wellington area of New Zealand before they made the big plunge "across the ditch" over to Australia. They continued in Australia (and other countries) for a while until they disbanded in 1983
THE TIGERS - Self Titled
EMI Records (Australia & New Zealand)
Cat# EMX 109
Australia / New Zealand release
1981
Cover is in good condition, no seam splits, no tears but obviously this was a radio station copy and has printing on the rear cover (and the record labels) to indicate this. Originally supplied to the station as a "industry only sample record" and a sticker on the rear top right hand side confirms this.
2RRR is a Sydney Community Radio station (Ryde Regional Radio) and still broadcasts to this day on 88.5Mhz FM - have a listen sometime or take a look at their website HERE
Please note that the original gatefold lyric insert is MISSING and not supplied!
New plastic inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source, I can see NO significant scratches or marks at all on either side of the vinyl. Just looking at a piece of vinyl doesn't really cut it so I then played the album ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are no issues at all with surface noise or click/pops - nice trip down memory lane! (I emigrated from NZ around this era)
New outer protective plastic sleeve
TRACKS: Please Be Mine, Say These Words, On Any Weekend, Adults Only, Tony, Don't Wanna Go Home, All Night, Let's Get Started, Heart Don't Stop, You Cheated Me, Little Misty
