He retired from the stage at the ripe old age of 82 and following a brief period of Alzheimer's and ill-health, he died on 3 March 2006, aged 83. RIP. Siti: ivorcutler. Nei gruppi: Ivor Cutler.

Ivor Cutler's first release was this seven-song EP in the late 1950s, the "Y'Hup" of the title being a fictional, isolated island of Cutler's own imagination. Though perhaps milder and more reserved than his most acclaimed work, it shows the approach for which he'd become known very much in place. Droll and bemused in its humor, Ivor Cutler of Y'Hup alternates spoken word interludes with even stranger musical tunes that find Cutler backing his own singing with harmonium. All seven tracks from this rare EP are can also be found on the 2005 CD compilation An Elpee and Two Epees, which also includes his 1961 album Who Tore Your Trousers? and his 1961 EP Get Away From the Wall.
