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>Shane Roeschlein [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 2008] March 5th 2008.

=== Variant 1 (April 2003) === | === Variant 1 (April 2003) === | ||
This variant is likely the earliest variant of the EP considering its different design inconsistent with other Tally Hall media. The only known copy of this variant was sold by [[Andrew Horowitz]] at auction in 2019 to support Coz Baldwin and is now owned by a private collector.<ref>[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/tally-hall-original-green-tie-cds-1986250561 Archive of Andrew's 2019 auction] ''Worthpoint.''</ref> It is unknown if this variant has different mixing to the later two variants. | [[File:Partyboobytrap_1.png|thumb|200px|Variant 1 of Party Boobytrap.]] | ||
This variant is likely the earliest variant of the EP considering its different design which is inconsistent with other, newer Tally Hall media. The CD is blank white except for the band name and EP title printed on the lower third of the disc. This version came with a receipt-like paper insert with the tracklisting and production notes. It's generally believed that the font used for the insert was made by digitising [[Joe Hawley]]'s handwriting, as it's similar to his handwriting style, but too consistent to be hand-written. | |||

This variant was pressed sometime after Variant 1 and before November of 2003 as Banana Man was recorded in November of 2003. Two copies of this variant are known to exist, one in the possession of [[Hidden In The Sand (Website)|Hidden In The Sand]] moderator Ruby Red.<ref>Ruby Red [https://twitter.com/RubyRed64/status/1788394983369605251 Tweet posted May 9th, 2024, @RubyRed64] May 9th, 2024.

[[File:Partyboobytrap-variant3.jpg|thumb|200px|Variant 3 of Party Boobytrap.]] | |||
This variant is the newest of the three, notably swapping out [[Stationary Love]] for [[Banana Man]]. The mixes of Banana Man and [[Ruler Of Everything]] on this variant are different from the ones on Complete Demos; Banana Man has different panning of vocals and instruments, and Ruler of Everything has very slight timing changes. In addition, all songs are less compressed in their mixing compared to variant 2 and have higher dynamic range. The artwork was further revised, adding a list of all the band members and their colors, the recording location, "Produced By Tally Hall", and a black stripe at the bottom of the disc. | This variant is the newest of the three, notably swapping out [[Stationary Love]] for [[Banana Man]].

A "'''partyboobytrap e.p. +1-1'''" was also released sometime in 2003, 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] ''Talentmatch.''
