Tigertailz: For A Few Dollarz More (The Archives Vol 1: 1984 – 1991), 3CD – Review

Tigertailz is the Welsh equivalent of one of the most unapologetically hedonistic acts on the planet at the time, Poison. Embodying the sleazy thrills and lipstick-stained swagger of the genre at its peak. Of course, this is only cheap talk. Let’s dive in.

This 3-CD collection, For A Few Dollarz More: The Archives Vol 1, is an unrepentant celebration of their formative years, from 1984 to 1991, and delivers exactly what fans of this style crave.

 

For A Few Dollarz More: The Archives Vol 1 isn’t just sexy—it’s the kind of sexy that makes you want to stay up too late, party too hard, and maybe regret it the next day. The only thing missing from this 3CD box set is the inclusion of a large can of Aqua Net.

 

Highlights include the anthem “Livin’ Without You,” which still oozes bedroom bravado, and “She’z Too Hot,” a masterclass in strip-club sleaze-rock with infectious riffs.

This is both a love letter to Tigertailz diehards and a reminder of why glam metal captivated an entire generation.
