I was recently reading Beth Lesser's King Jammys book (highly recommended, by the way) and I was really impressed with the interview with Tiger. I'm keen to buy some of his music but I'm not sure where to start. It seems he produced some rubbish as well some greatness. Guidance? Ta!

my personal favorites would have to be:
"wanga gut" - 7" - (tiger label) (also video on youtube)
"what im drinkin"- 7" - (jammys)
"robot" - on the computer riddim (sunset)
"cant tan ya so" - (10 roosevelt ave)

Best Tiger album imho is 'Deadly' on Penthouse. Seldom an album title did more justice to its content.

Tiger also had a major label release during the 90's . I believe it was on Chaos label through EPIC .Some good tunes on it even for a major release . " Me Name Tiger" on Ras records is a great album ," Puppy Love " and No wanna Gut " are on this great album . I got to see him perform many years ago , he had a great stage presence . He had a bad motor cycle accident , after he major label release .
