five dollar rip-off



and here is heavy turkey's five dollar rip-off.recorded in 2008 in wellington at the klearnote loungepad onto tascam four track this motherfucker was overloaded! there were some overdubs done on "bat's" and "satan raise the dead" involving the computer. i had an amateur's stab at compression and e.q. on a couple of tracks and tried to smooth out the upper frequencies so that it goes down like a warm slug down a canetoad's throat so let your ears flap around these thanks dude...Dave and I did the artwork by taking turns trying to draw each other..
The five dollar rip-off concept evolved out of our rushed production;we recorded,mixed,and manufactured the run of fifty cdr's in twenty four hours.That's why the sound quality is not as good as the first album.We also repeated a couple of tracks from the earlier release so you can do a comparison between the different versions.......schneurch!
Here is a clip filmed by Dave's girlfriend of us playing at the late Records Records in Dunedin which was run by Pat Faigan.Early 2009.....
