'''The Pingry EP''' is a collection of live, acoustic, and one-take performance demos released by [[Tally Hall]] in April 2005. Originally, these tracks were recorded to have something to give record companies, in addition to [[Complete Demos]], to show what other songs they've been working on.


It was named after The Pingry School in New Jersey, where Andrew went to high school. Tally Hall had been a staple band at the annual Pingry School Spring Fling concert for a few years but hasn't been back since 2005 where they officially released the EP to the public.
The Pingry EP was distributed in standard white paper CD envelopes, the kind with a transparent, round window on the front. Inside was the CD-R plus a B&W photocopied insert with the track listing and liner notes. The insert artwork shows a picture from the opening of The Pingry School, with a highlight on the school's founder Dr. John Francis Pingry. Copies allegedly also came with orders of Complete Demos.<ref>[https://tallyhall.livejournal.com/30671.html LiveJournal post about Pingry]</ref>

The Pingry EP is a collection of live, acoustic, and one-take performance demos released by Tally Hall in April 2005. Originally, these tracks were recorded to have something to give record companies, in addition to Complete Demos, to show what other songs they've been working on.

The Pingry EP was distributed in standard white paper CD envelopes, the kind with a transparent, round window on the front. Inside was the CD-R plus a B&W photocopied insert with the track listing and liner notes. The insert artwork shows a picture from the opening of The Pingry School, with a highlight on the school's founder Dr. John Francis Pingry. Copies allegedly also came with orders of Complete Demos.[2]

History

At some point in early 2005, Tally Hall and Bora Karaca would record some acoustic tracks in a Music School classroom, using an Oktava MK012-01 compact microphone. Later (or earlier, Bora seems to not remember which happened when), Joe Hawley would ask Bora to record The Bidding for them at University of Michigan studio. However there are four tracks on the EP not recorded at either session.[3]

The EP was named after The Pingry School in New Jersey, where Andrew went to high school. Tally Hall had been a staple band at the annual Pingry School Spring Fling concert for a few years but 2005 was the last time they performed there. The band also sold copies at their June 1st show at The Ark in the same year.[1]

Tracks

The first couple tracks on the album are the aforementioned acoustic Music School tracks and the University of Michigan studio recording of The Bidding.

Part of the tracklisting is archival recordings from 2002-2004. Good Day was a radio performance at the Mitch Albom show on WJR Radio in May 2004, Just A Friend is a live performance recording at The Blind Pig on March 24th 2005, and Yearbook is the first attic recording Tally Hall would make in 2003, before recording Party Boobytrap.

An outlier is Cell Phone Call, from Tally Hall's first live show at the Frieze Basement in December of 2002 It's included as a hidden track and is simply stage banter during a cell phone call between Rob Cantor and Joe.
