It was released 28 February 1994 ( 1994-02-28 ) by Heavenly Records.

In an interview with Record Collector, band member Bob Stanley stated that the title is a reference to the 1959 film Tiger Bay.

Some of the songs, such as Marble Lions and Former Lover forsake electronics for classical folk instrumentation and orchestral arrangements.

The original intention was for all the songs to be about death.

The original cover art is James Clarke Hook s Welcome Bonny Boat, doctored to include the band members.

In place of the cut songs is the single I Was Born On Christmas Day and remixes by Daniel Abraham of Hug My Soul and Like a Motorway.

The reissue featured another new cover, this time showing Giuditta del Vecchio (from the film Lolo ); the back shows a picture of the group.

The inner sleeve was updated, and includes a short commentary on the album by journalist and friend of the group Simon Price, as well as a new selection of photographs with a summery theme.

Former Lover is also edited, although less noticeably, with only the opening guitar chords being removed.

The reissue also features four extra tracks I Buy American Records, Grovely Road, Hate your Drug and the single edit of Hes on the Phone.

The new deluxe version reinstates the original sleeve art and includes a booklet with an interview with Bob Stanley and additional bonus disc containing a number of demos and all of the b-sides.

Three singles were released, but none matched the popularity of those from their previous album.

The first, Pale Movie, peaked at No.

Like a Motorway was more disappointing, missing the top forty completely and making only No.

Hug My Soul was released as a two-disc set and managed better, peaking at No.

He also acknowledged that the original cover was a commercial mistake.

All tracks are written by Stanley and Wiggs; except where indicated.
