Tiger Lily Records

The name Tiger Lily Records has applied to two labels, one in the United States and the other in Canada.

The United States version of Tiger Lily Records was a record label that was run by Roulette Records founder Morris Levy. Purportedly it was a tax scam created by Levy and was never intended to make a profit. Tiger Lily's modus operandi was to acquire demo tapes from artists and then release them without the artists consent and sometimes without even the artist's knowledge. The most prominent artists to have a record released by Tiger Lily were Richard Pryor whose album L.A. Jail was released by Tiger Lily and Rod Stewart who had a live recording of him in performance at the 1973 Reading and Leeds Festivals released by Tiger Lily under the title Reading Festival Featuring Rod Stewart released in 1976. The album credited to Stewart was really a collection of various artists from the Reading Festival, with Rod Stewart and the Faces only appearing on one track. The album Stonewall, credited to a band of the same name, has sold for as much as $14,100.

The Tiger Lily Records name is now held by a reputable Canadian company. They have been in operation since approximately 1998. Their brand encompasses Tiger Lily Records, Tiger Lily Records Canada and Tiger Lily Music. This collective record label produces music by several independent musicians and bands and distributes their music internationally.
