The LP was released during the heyday of the NWOBHM movement and captures the real spirit of the music scene in the UK in 1980.
The
Tygers have announced that the recording and mixing of the forthcoming EP, "
The Wildcat Sessions" (view cover
here), is now complete and "
we are very pleased with the end result. In particular with the recorded sound achieved, it really does capture the early '80s NWOBHM spirit and feel we were looking for.
"To achieve that raw almost 'live' vibe to the sound, we even replicated the microphone positioning that was used on the original recording."
The track listing for the EP is as follows:
01. Euthanasia
02. Slave To Freedom
03. Suzie Smiled
04. Don't Touch Me There
05. Wildcatz
After mastering, the disc will enter production mid-February. The first batch of copies will be ready for dispatch early March 2010.
"The Wildcat Sessions" EP will be a limited edition of only 1,000 copies and only available through the band's web site webshop at www.tygersofpantang.com.
