Rosaria is the second and final studio album by the British band Tiger. It was released on CD only in 1999 and includes the singles "Friends" and "Girl From the Petrol Station", the latter of which was aborted prior to release. The album was produced by Stephen Street, with the exception of "Birmingham" and "Bee Song" which were produced by Donald Ross Skinner. The art direction was produced by Stephen Male with graphic design by Latifah Cornelius and painting by lead vocalist Dan Laidler.

Contents

Having been dropped by Island sub-label Trade 2 soon after the release of "Friends" in the autumn of 1998, the album was released to little fanfare and publicity on CD by the small Tugboat Record label in May 1999. The group had been touring the album in support of Pulp on a UK tour. Losing the impetus and financial backing to continue, the group split up shortly after the release of Rosaria.
