Young and Crazy is a 1987 album by Tigertailz, with artwork by the band's bassist Pepsi Tate. It has a heavier sound than its successor, with less elements of pop metal. It is the only album to feature the original lead vocalist Steevi Jaimz. The album was released in America on Combat records. [1] The compact disc is now considered a collector's item, and is much sought after by Tigertailz fans. The CD was re-released in the US on May 27, 2008, on independent label Krescendo. [2]
