NOTES
Recorded October 14th, 1987 @ Cabaret Metro in Chicago, IL. Released on the band's own "official bootleg" label Goofin' (which also released "4 Tunna Brix"). It sounds as though the recording runs a bit fast, possibly to fit onto the vinyl? Final 4 songs are Ramones covers.
In 1998 this was reissued on CD and mailed to Sonic Death members as a courtesy for being virtually defunct for nearly 3 years...
The CD is also sold via Smells Like...
Re-released in digital format only on the band's bandcamp site in 2020. After initially posting files from the original release, they pulled them and replaced them a few days later with a speed-corrected version.

FINALLY, PITCH AND TEMPO CORRECTED AUDIO OF THIS ALBUM! Originally released as a semi-official bootleg LP in 1991 by friend and music writer, Byron Coley, on his Goofin' imprint (we would eventually hijack the Goofin' moniker for our own band-run label a few years later). The recording was nearly 60-minutes in length, so to prevent manufacturing a cost-prohibitive double lp, the master was slightly sped-up to fit the entire concert (us blasting through a finely-tuned set of songs from Sister, EVOL and a nightly encore tribute to the Ramones), on one single lp. Cramming the grooves of the vinyl in such a way resulted in Hold That Tiger playing at a lower volume on the stereo, thus the "one hour long - don't have a cow! - crank it up' sticker affixed to the front of the original lp cover. A few years later in 1998, Hold That Tiger was remastered for CD re-issue. The audio quality was improved from the lower fidelity lp but unfortunately the slightly sped-up performance was not corrected - until today! We are pleased to make available the best-sounding version of Hold That Tiger via the Sonic Youth Archive on bandcamp.
