Y&T put out the legendary rock album Black Tiger album in 1982 and now you can download an iPhone app that chronicles the making of the record.

The new app for iPad and iPhone tells the story of how Black Tiger was made in singer and lead guitarist Dave Meniketti’s own words.

The app includes extensive audio of Meniketti describing how Black Tiger was recorded (at Ridge Farm studio in England) – including his comments on the album’s tracks and on touring with AC/DC in 1982.

The app contains lots of images from 1982 – including photos of the Black Tiger recording sessions from Meniketti’s personal collection.

Canadian rock and metal writer Martin Popoff developed the app using three recorded interviews he did with Meniketti. Popoff also penned a new review of Black Tiger for the app, and an essay in which he argues that Y&T were a kick-ass NWOBHM band who, through no fault of their own, happened to be from San Francisco.
