Worst album ever? - you be the judge!


"Summon Forth the Mangonel" by the Bing Turkby Ensemble just had a review from NZ Musician, and it took a beating!
Apart from a couple of mistakes ("Slapskins" has become "Slapsticks"), the review is well-written – the guy has some good lines.
So, the reviewer sure didn't like it very much, but is it the worst album you've ever heard?
We've made it free to download, so you can judge for yourself.

CD + Book stockists


Here are the places (so far) that you can buy a copy of the Bing Turkby Ensemble CD "Summon Forth the Mangonel", and the Turkby book "Tour Trouble":

The Turkby Bandcamp page has several different packages with combinations of the CD and book, plus other assorted stuff!
You can also get a digital download of the album there, if you don't want physical clutter in your tidy home.

Marbecks (Palmerston North, in the Plaza, pictured above) stock the CD and the book.

CDBaby.com can sell you the physical CD or a digital download of the album

Amazon.com has the book (and hopefully soon a Kindle version)

Update: free ebook version available here! Feedbooks.com has 'Tour Trouble' in ePub, MOBI (Kindle) and PDF formats.

TurkbyTone Rekkids has books and CDs listed on Trademe.co.nz too. Just search for "Turkby".

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me and the band by buying a CD and/or book - we really appreciate it!
