Part of the tracklisting is archival recordings from 2002 to 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 did 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 2002. It's included as a hidden track and is simply stage banter during a cell phone call between [[Rob Cantor]] and [[Joe Hawley]]. | |||
The EP was named after The Pingry School in New Jersey, where [[Andrew Horowitz|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.<ref name="livejournal">[https://tallyhall.livejournal.com/10935.html?thread=57015#t57015 Tally Hall livejournal reply from Coz Baldwin, June 15th, 2005]</ref> | |||
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> | |||
