OUT-OF-PRINT 2014 US edition 12-track LP pressed on 180 Gram Heavyweight BLACK vinyl. Tiger Bay is the third studio album by Saint Etienne originally released in 1994 and reached number 8 on the British charts. Combining traditional folk melodies with 90s electronica and David Whitaker's atmospheric orchestration, "Tiger Bay" was an extraordinary step forward from the sample-based 'indie dance' of the first two albums. The album includes the singles "Pale Movie" and "Like A Motorway". "Hug My Soul" was the only single that charted in the U.S. and reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart; presented in a single picture sleeve. This example remains housed from new in the original manufacturer’s stickered shrink wrap. PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES TO GIVE YOURSELF A FULL IDEA OF THE CONDITION OF THIS WONDERFUL SET.

Reviews"...Etienne's disco-llision of `60s pop and `70s dance is now reaching such peaks of consistent perfection that it's impossible to believe they haven't long since...conquered the entire known universe...", "TIGER BAY still makes for the subtlest, most cinematic, and pretty much indisputably last of Saint Etienne's astounding initial burst of albums.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Most of the songs were based on old traditionals, the ancient melodies relocated atop synths and sequencers.", "...the group has learned to modulate its thematic shifts more subtly...Saint Etienne makes dance pop that's more welcoming than hypnotic or seductive...", "...somehow they've created a Virtual Pop Reality where deep house, medieval balladry, Moroderesque hi-NRG, snare-smacking Northern Soul, pneumatic Jamaican dub, and tearjerking torch songs coexist, and are of equal value. The Etienne aesthetic prevails....", "Some very sophisticated and very serious British pop music....It was subtle, unassuming, classy and it has stayed current because of those reasons.", "...Though the band steals freely from vintage Depeche Mode and other early-'80s disco beats, TIGER BAY thoroughly captivates, and captures a broader meaning of the word `ambient.'"

    I have various formats of this album but this is a copy from America. Slightly different order of play and extra tracks. Bought on vinyl and playing in the morning as I get up and ready.
