Sinister: Tigermilk Reissues

[duke of harringay]

i like the mythical quality of tigermilk remaining
unavailable (and NO i don't have a copy on vinyl
either...) , because actually i disagree with tim
about collectablity not being part of Pop.  I
think it is... so pub arguments ahoy this
weekend!  However... i also think that Tigermilk
is a great record and deserves to be heard.  Given
that there's a lot of growing interest in the
band, i think it should be given a 'real' airing
to the public, and i suspect that despite all the
comments from the band, it WILL come out, but only
when they think it's in their best interests for
it to happen.  It's a juggling act.... keep it
back long enough to keep people talking and
hoping, then unleashing it when they feel at a
peak of publicity, or whatever.  I don;t think it
will see the light of day until they get a
'charting' LP and mass interest in the press.
Then i can see full page ads pushing it as the
'great lost debut by belle & sebastian' or
somesuch.  And that's fair enough, because that's
Pop too.  Of course if they leave it too long they
re-issue it and no one really cares that much
anymore and they only sell a couple thousand
anyway.  Ho hum.

And if it does come out, it wont have the same
artwork... at least i'm pretty sure it won't.
Don't expect Tigger would want his face plastered
all over the high street, do you?

the duke
