The Casuals –Tara Tiger Girl/Nature’s Child –Parlophone R5959 (1972 UK)
Tara Tiger Girl was sandwiched between The Casuals’ Decca period and The Witch on Dawn in 1974.
The Casuals at this time were most likely Ex-World of Oz Chris Evans and his Kansas Hook/ American Jam Band cronies in full-on Pure Pop mode. Nature’s Child also appeared as the B side of The American Jam Band’s American Jam single.
Tara Tiger Girl is a fine Psych/Pop number very much like The Move circa 1968 albeit with a vocalist sounding a lot like Anthony Newley in very tight loons! The tune is damn catchy anyhow, with some nice Psych touches. Enjoy the fun!

Hi Robin,
A search for this song lead me indirectly to you. How interesting.
And speaking of Anthony Newley, one of the lady ice skaters used "Feelin' Good" as their music last night. I actually have the cast recording for Roar of the Greasepaint (from Village Music of course - RIP). I know mist folks like the Nina Simone version tho my first hearing was Traffic's.
Christy & I are well in the hills of San Jose. Absolute best to you.
