New York, NY (Top40 Charts) JUNO Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated Canadian rock band Glass Tiger, comprised of Alan Frew (vocals), Al Connelly (lead guitar), Sam Reid (keyboards) and Wayne Parker (bass), announces the vinyl reissue of their 1986 4x Platinum debut record The Thin Red Line. The newly remastered LP is set for release on August 28 on 180g tiger striped coloured vinyl via Universal Music. The 1LP edition arrives in a single jacket with brand new sleeve art. The Thin Red Line is available for pre-order now with immediate digital access to hit singles including, "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)," "Someday," "Thin Red Line," and "I Will Be There."

On the upcoming reissue, Alan Frew says: "Re-mastering and re-issuing The Thin Red Line, is not only a testament to the enduring legacy of an album, it's also a testament to the enduring legacy of a band and it's fans. You are the best in the world and you share with us your love, not only of GLASS TIGER but also a love of one of the greatest decades in the history of music."

Originally released in 1986, Glass Tiger's debut album The Thin Red Line has become a quintessentially Canadian rock album. The lead single "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)," which features backup vocals by Bryan Adams, peaked at #1 on the Canadian charts and at #2 on the US charts. The album's successful follow-up single "Someday," went on to reach #7 in the US and #14 in Canada. Both singles won 'Single of the Year' at the 1986 and '87 JUNO Awards, marking the first time in the award's history that the accolade was won by the same artist in two consecutive years, for singles from the same album. In 1987, the band dominated the Rock Express Magazine reader's poll, winning 'Top Canadian Group,' 'Top Canadian Album' for The Thin Red Line, and 'Top Canadian Single' for "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)."
Today, "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)," "Someday," and "My Town" remain the band's top tracks in Canada, the US, and Mexico.
