Unlike his debut album Here Come the Warm Jets, Eno used a core band of five instrumentalists (keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, and percussion) and used fewer guest musicians. Also participating was guitarist and co-writer Phil Manzanera, who had played with Eno in Roxy Music.

With his second solo album, ‘Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)’, Brian Eno introduced his Oblique Strategies cards, with seductively subversive results. Published on. November 7, 2018. By. Oregano Rathbone. Issued by Island Records in November 1974, Taking Tiger Mountain derived its title from a set of postcard photos depicting a Peking opera, one of the eight model plays permitted during the Chinese Cultural Revolution of 1966-76. Indeed, references to China recur in the album’s lyrics, hence a widespread assumption that the album is a concept piece – though this remains tricky to substantiate

Taking Tiger Mountain" is perhaps, no most certainly, one of the great album closers in pop history. It's the whipped cream on the pie, the fig in the pudding, the happy ending after the massage. As sleepy and wispy as they come, it was inspired by a Maoist opera of the same name which roughly inspired some of the themes the album presents. More than anything, "Taking Tiger Mountain" sounds like a San Francisco pier, the Pacific Ocean rushing in and out, the sun sucking itself into the sea. Except there no bums. Awful lot of bums in San Francisco.

Notes

Everything from the packaging to the labels seems to mimic the UK gatefold, pink-rim release, except for the Interpak logo bottom right, rear cover, and the 'distributed by Trutone, bottom left. Both in blue ink. I believe this was either pressed in the UK or the metal-work was sent over to be pressed in South Africa.
