Speed, Glue & Shinki - 'Tiger' Phoenix reissue LP
Condition Cover: SS (Still Sealed); MINT
Condition Vinyl: SS (Still Sealed) 

Description: Gatefold 2LP version. Following on from the gutsy blues-rock groove of the band's first and probably only genuine studio release, 1971's Eve, Speed, Glue & Shinki's second release, originally released in 1972 on Atlantic and often referred to as Tiger, brought together a number of tracks not included on Eve, as well as some new recordings that took a very different musical slant. Joey Smith decided that since he could he handle himself admirably on drums, it was time to challenge a new instrument, so he bought a synthesizer. Drafting in friendMike Hanopol to take over the bass-playing duties from the departed Masayoshi "Glue" Kabe, Smith managed to produce an album of two halves, the first being some of the strongest SGS-esque material ever, the second being some fine electronic instrumentals in the Tangerine Dream mode. Following the release of the album, Smith and Hanopol flew back to Manila to become Filipino superstars, while Shinki Chen eschewed the recording of his music in preference to live recordings and Kabe found alternative employment in the highly popular band, Pink Cloud. However, the band's legacy lives on in Tiger, a compendium of the sound of Eve and a taste of where the band might have gone had time, personalities and huge amounts of illicit drugs not exerted their influences.

I LOVE MY FELLOW INTERNATIONAL EBAY MEMBERS BUT DUE TO PAST COMPLAINTS AND REFUSALS TO PAY THE HIGH SHIPPING RATES, I HAVE BLOCKED BIDDING FOR INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS.

I take great care in packing LPs by using oversized boxes to avoid banged corners and packed tightly so LPs cannot slide around, thus avoiding seam split.
I always separate vinyl and insert from the cover (unless item is sealed) to avoid seam split in shipping so rest easy.
