Wild Cat is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Tygers of Pan Tang. [5] [4] It was released in 1980 on MCA Records, and reached #18 on the UK album chart. The album was re-issued in 1989 in a double-LP package with Spellbound, and on CD in 1997 with bonus tracks.
Goldmine called the album "an early biker-metal classic exuding all the boisterous charm one would expect from a bunch of young kids excitedly helping build a scene." [6]
All songs written by Jess Cox, Brian Dick, Rick Laws, and Robb Weir except where noted.
