Golden Robot Records have released a remastered edition of Rose Tattoo's Beats From A Single Drum album, available to stream everywhere and on limited edition vinyl.
Beats From A Single Drum features 10 remastered songs from the 1986 album including "Calling", '"Michael Oreilly'" and '"Suddenly'", with the latter track featured as the wedding song for Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene (Kylie Minogue) on Neighbours. "Suddenly"was also featured in a wedding scene for the hit UK show Gavin and Stacey.
This era was defining for Rose Tattoo with a changed lineup, new members in the fold and Beats From A Single Drum released for the first time to great eagerness from fans and critics alike. The main contributing members of this album were Angry Anderson (vocals), Tim Gaze (guitar), Andy Cichon (keyboard/backing vocals) and Scott Johnston (drums/backing vocals). This pivotal time in Tatts history cemented the band as an established name and a force within the Australian music landscape.
This is not the first Rose Tattoo release Golden Robot has been involved with, previously releasing Tatts: Live in Brunswick (2017), Blood Brothers (2018) and Scarred for Live 1980-1982 (2018). The label was also home to the Tatts when they supported Guns N' Roses on their 2017 Australian stadium tour.
"We are truly excited to remaster what was the most commercially successful album for Rose Tattoo and Angry [Anderson]. Tatts will always be a rock n' roll institution with Angry being one of the most notable Australian front men of all time." says Golden Robot Records CEO & President, Mark Alexander-Erber.
Led by front man Angry Anderson, Beats From A Single Drum takes on a new life form to deliver a clear and familiar sound to Rose Tattoo fans. Beats From A Single Drum will be made available on vinyl in 2023, a must have for any serious record collector.
The vinyl will be available in 4 colours with a limited edition blue vinyl available for pre-order now. A further limited edition red vinyl will be made available in January, with black to follow in February and a limited edition USA exclusive green vinyl to be made available for pre-order in March.
