In fall 1970, Christian took on the management of Crushed Butler[2] who changed their name to Tiger. Christian got them into recording studios both in Wembley at the new De Lane Lea Studios where he produced five songs by the band, and Tooting, London, at a demo studio producing the first version of Tiger's glam rock song "High School Dropout" in January 1971.
Everything Christian released between 1962 and 1968 has been reissued on the CD compilation, That's Nice, which also added several unreleased recordings from the same era.[1]
