Rory Gallagher – Tattoo (2018 Reissue on 180g Vinyl)

Remastered from the original tapes by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham in November 2011. Issued with a printed inner sleeve, a digital download card is included.

Tattoo is the fourth studio album and fifth album overall released by Rory Gallagher, originally released on 11 November 1973.

Classic Rock magazine opined that Tattoo was an album that ‘crossed many genres of rock and roll and showcased the writing talents of Rory Gallagher more than any of his previous records.’ BBC’s reviewer noted that while Gallagher ‘toured constantly,’ he still ‘found time away from the stage to write so many great songs,’ adding that ‘Tattoo is perhaps the pick of the bunch: a near-perfect document of the powerful, passionate performances that placed Rory in a league of his own.’ For the reviewer, the album was ‘a scintillating showcase for Rory’s mastery of his craft.’
