Platter (album)

Platter is a solo album released by TISM bassist Jock Cheese (a pseudonym for John "Jack" Holt).

An excerpt of "Unfair" was used as an unlisted spoken-word intro to TISM's 2001 album De Rigueurmortis, which preceded Platter, while "Totally Addicted to Skase" was written in 1999.

In 2018, Holt would return after several years as a session musician with a new band, The Collaborators, who released a self-titled album the following year (of note, Stephen "Venom" Brown, who played drums on Platter, also played drums on nine of the album's eleven tracks).

The Collaborators performed their first concert at the Gasometer in Collingwood on 26 October 2019, where they played the entire album along with two tracks from Platter.

On 10 December 2022, Platter was reissued on limited-edition yellow vinyl through TISM's current label, DRW Entertainment, albeit without the instrumental "Just the Straight Dope" tracks.
