Hats Off, Gentlemen! is a single-sided demo cassette by Renaldo & The Loaf, which was recorded between Summer and Autumn 1980.
This tape, as well as the duo's previous demo Songs From The Surgery, was sent to Ralph Records in 1980, ultimately landing them a record deal and resulting in their first publicly released album, Songs for Swinging Larvae, being issued by Ralph in June 1981.
Songs From The Surgery and Hats Off, Gentlemen! were both released publicly for the first time on April 2nd 2021, as the digital compilation Promos 1980.
