A landmark debut in Australian hard rock, Rose Tattoo introduced the Tatts’ unmistakable blend of heavy blues, slide‑driven riffs and street‑level attitude. Originally released in 1978 and produced by the legendary Vanda & Young team, the album established the band’s raw, uncompromising sound and became a cult classic across Europe and beyond.
Featuring signature tracks such as Rock ’N’ Roll Outlaw, Nice Boys and Bad Boy For Love, the record’s influence spread far beyond Australia — inspiring future generations of rock bands, including Guns N’ Roses, who famously covered Nice Boys.
This Music On Vinyl limited edition is pressed on 140‑gram white and black swirled vinyl, individually numbered and housed in a gatefold sleeve. A premium audiophile reissue of one of the most important hard‑rock debuts of the late 70s.
