==Overview==
Party Boobytrap is Tally Hall's first release, produced in very small quantities to be sold at early live shows. It was recorded in the attic bedroom of [[Joe Hawley]] using a digital camcorder and edited together using Final Cut Pro.<ref>[https://acoatofredpaintinhell.wordpress.com/2008/03/05/tally-hall-an-interview-with-rob-joe-andrew-zubin-and-ross/ A Coat of Red Paint in Hell Tally Hall interview 2006]</ref> All of the songs featured would later be released on [[Complete Demos]], albeit in remixed form. A "partyboobytrap e.p. +1-1" was also released, containing the [[Cover Songs|Super Mario Bros. Overworld theme]] in addition to the other tracks. This version has yet to surface online.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20040607013914/http://www.talentmatch.com/search/allview.asp?PID=59562&entry=tmurl## TalentMatch Tally Hall website archive]</ref>
 
The title was chosen because it was a palindrome, and would later be used as the name of a fictional rap group in the music video for Good Day.<ref>[https://www.hiddeninthesand.com/gallery/var/albums/Miscellaneous/TallyHall.com-in-2005/TH_site2-5_all_0005.jpg Tally Hall bio in 2005, tallyhall.com]</ref>
 
The only digital copy to surface is from [[Andrew Horowitz]] himself, who sent a fan a digital copy in the late 2010s. This includes an early spelling of [[Good Day]], "Goodday". This copy is likely the same copy that was auctioned for Coz Baldwin in 2019.<ref>[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/tally-hall-original-green-tie-cds-1986250561 Worthpoint] auction archive.</ref> A copy with different artwork would be given to [[Hidden In The Sand (Website)|Hidden In The Sand]] moderator Ruby Red in May 2024.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RubyRed64/status/1788394983369605251 Tweet posted May 9th, 2024, @RubyRed64]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZhT7ZFY_ImCl0flS-OQKpiXGwISL_l3N "Tally Hall - Party Boobytrap", Youtube playlist]</ref>
