Eh… about the first CD appearance. I have Orchestal Maneuvers by David Palmer and The Royal Philharmoic Orchestra, which has it as well, and from 1989… Takumi Murayama 08:08, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] When the Tygers Broke Free
Hi, I removed the alternate listing as you'd previously said you thought "Tygers" may have been the original spelling which it isn't. I just thought it over complicated things but fine, I'll leave it. NH 79.121.143.143 (talk) 17:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I have a CD here (Pink Floyd: Echoes) on which it is spelled 'Tygers'. I said I thought it might be the original spelling because it would be a bit odd for them to change it from 'Tigers' to 'Tygers', more likely the other way around so that people don't think it's a typo - possibly when it was released in the US. I thought it might be a reference to Here There Be Tygers but as I said I have no reference and it's all just speculation, so I left it at an alternate spelling because there are CDs out there that use it. If you Google "When the Tygers Broke Free" you'll find a handful of references to that spelling. SilentC (talk) 21:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Oh! OK! Thanks for getting back to me on that and my apologies for not putting my reasons for deleting your point when you had put your reasons for adding it. The original single which I got when it reached number 33 in the UK charts has "Tigers" in Gerald Scarfe's writing. It has always been listed as that wherever I've seen it so I was a bit confused by your addition. After I deleted it I wondered whether "Tygers" may be an American spelling of the word, so I put it into the search and it redirected to "Tigers". You say that Pink Floyd Echoes has it listed as TYgers. If you mean the Echoes Best of PF compilation, well I haven't got that as I own all the originals. Waters is referring to German Tiger Tanks in the title and "Tygers" by Wikipedia's own definition is an obsolete spelling of the word. I'm really confused now!!
Thanks, though, for setting up a talk page for me as I didn't know how to do this. Discussion is by far the best way! NH —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.143.143 (talk) 02:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think that it's also spelled 'Tigers' on Echoes in many cases too. The track listing on Amazon.com for example. I really don't know why my copy (purchased in Australia) has it spelled 'Tygers'. I've searched the web for an explanation but couldn't find one. I found a few that support it as an alternate listing though: [1], [2], [3]. There are also a few posts to fan forums that use the spelling. It's probably just another one of those things they did to create mystique. Who knows? :) SilentC (talk) 21:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
