 "Tigermilk" was recorded in three days and originally only one thousand copies were pressed in vinyl.As of 2007, these original copies were valued up to £400.The warm reception the album received inspired Murdoch and David to turn the band into a full-time project, recruiting Stevie Jackson (guitar and vocals), Isobel Campbell (cello/vocals), Chris Geddes (keys) and Richard Colburn (drums) to fill out the group.
