Documenting the production and release surrounding Steve Mason’s King Biscuit Time project, this archive brings together a selection of production and release materials connected to “Sings” Nelly Foggits Blues In “Me and the Pharaohs”.

Created during the period between The Beta Band’s rise and Steve Mason’s later solo work, King Biscuit Time offered an outlet for Mason’s increasingly adventurous songwriting and studio experimentation. The project expanded upon many of the ideas that had defined The Beta Band while pushing further into psychedelic pop, folk, electronic textures and lo-fi production techniques.

At the centre of the collection is the 12” Vinyl and CD EP releases, a reference CD-R featuring handwritten track information and a studio DAT safety copy retained during the production process.

The inclusion of multiple production and release formats provides a rare behind-the-scenes view of how independent releases were prepared, circulated and marketed during this era. 

Included in this Lot

  • Reference CD-R with handwritten track listing

  • Studio DAT tape safety copy of final mixes

  • 12” Vinyl and CD digipak releases
