2010 will see the TYGERS OF PAN TANG celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Wildcat album, the band's first and most iconic recording. The album was released during the hay-day of the NWOBHM movement and captures the real spirit of the music scene in the UK in 1980. The band at the time was a young four-piece and after charting in the UK top forty albums at No 15, this album proved to be the springboard for three more albums in two years with various lineups until the band decided to disband in 1983.Robb Weir, who originally formed the band in 1978, has resurrected the Tygers with a new lineup culminating in the release of the album, Animal Instinct, in 2008. As Wildcat is very close to Robb's heart we have decided to pick his top five tracks and re-record these to celebrate and remind the fans of the quality of the album which may have been long forgotten.the songs will be re-arranged to utilise modern technology and recorded by the 2010 lineup.
