1. "Hercules" (1997)
For their debut, Hercules decides to take on a popular 60s album and cover the whole thing. Can you guess which one they did? Originally pressing in small quantities, and destined to be officially released only in drastically truncated form on the 20th anniversary box set, I'm sure.
  2. "The Hercules Christmas EP" (1997)
A cherished favourite of fans of the "early days", this 6 song EP with a heartwarming seasonal theme is Hercules' first to contain all Baldwin/Sumner originals. It is also the first Hercules release to feature outside musicians: brass, strings, vibraphone and vocalist Glyn Styler. Served as a deluxe Christmas card that a few recipients received.

  4. "Jed at Fort Juniper" (2000, currently undergoing surgery)
In the final stages of production, Hercules' latest opus is destined to become a lauded and adored gem, or not. Ben and Peter think it is their finest work yet, and believe it may make a nice second release. Keep your eyes peeled, folks!
