Tiger Trap

 

The Tiger Trap & Henry's Dress Astronautical Music Festival

Tiger Trap - "Alien Space Song" b/w Henry's Dress - "Feathers"

Slumberland SLR 033 7", released February 1994 (U.S.)

And just like that...Tiger Trap's brief career was done. Before I started paying attention to these things, I could have sworn this was one of their earliest recordings. I guess not. Mail order copies were on powder blue marble vinyl - those are tough to find. Per the Slumberland discography, "a very small quantity had hand-colored sleeves with a picture of Pete Townshend." Those are preposterously difficult to find. I found one after 8-10 years of looking.

Incidentally, I came across this picture at one point:


What do you want to bet someone found this record in a thrift store and just had to use it for a sleeve?
