Recent archaeological work unearthed these last few copies of the very first BTE album ever! This is your last chance to grab a copy of the original Hrothgar Mathelode EP, lathe-cut by Peter King in 1996. Each cover will look slightly different, which is all part of the charm. Rarer than chook's dentures, more fun than a fundamentalist, more swinging than a swing at Kowhai Park in Whanganui. Once they're gone, they're gone.

about

This is actually, seriously, the first album by The Bing Turkby Ensemble, ever! From back in 1996. Recorded on a Tascam 4-track borrowed from a mate, mastered on a home stereo. The physical album was lathe-cut by Peter King in Geraldine.
