Tigers and Fireflies (sometimes referred to as Tigers & Fireflies) is an album recorded in 1978 and released by Lynsey de Paul[1] in April 1979[2] on the Polydor record label[3][4][5][6] in the UK, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and South America.[7] It was launched at a special event at the Mayfair Club in London, with de Paul looking similar to the 1940s film star Veronica Lake. The album was recorded at Long View Farm Studios[8][9] with additional recording at Mediasound Studios, New York and produced by Rupert Holmes.[10][11][12][13] In his 1986 biography, Justin de Villeneuve, de Paul's manager at the time wrote "I gave Rupert Holmes a call in New York. He agreed to see me if I flew to America. Polydor, with the prospect of the involvement with Holmes, agreed to up the budget".[14] The collaboration between de Paul and Holmes on Tigers and Fireflies was mentioned on the Ray Shasho Show, when Shasho interviewed Holmes on his BBS radio show on 7 August 2018.[15] The story behind the recording of the album was also discussed in the book Dervish Dust: The Life and Words of James Coburn.[16] Speaking to Music Week about the album, Jim Cook said "Throw away all of your preconceived ideas about Lynsey de Paul"[17] and the Scottish press reported "Nifty production by Rupert Holmes has the petit blonde back on form Not a weak song on the album".[18]
