Info:

This is the real deal, folks! Mastered straight from a cassette given to a person by The Residents years ago. Tape hiss is present, but forgivable as this is an excellent copy of this archaic recording!

Of course, the band was not called "The Residents" when this album was recorded, and only adopted the name from the address written on the envelope when the tape was returned from Warner Brothers Records. I'm sure you all know the folklore.

The song titles are at least 95% correct; from what I understand, the above titles are what is actually written on the back of the WBA tape box. They're certainly more correct than the mp3 versions floating around out there. It should be noted that there are 36 distinct titles, although the "Cryptic Guide" lists 38 tracks. ("Stuffed Genital..." seems to be a joke from the original back-cover-art) Still, there are some discrepancies... "Concerto In R Flat Minor" seems to be divided into three sections. There is no title for Track 32, so it may in fact be connected to the following or preceeding track. I also wonder about tracks 37 and 38, and if they are not part of the same song...?

Nonetheless--- while the tracks names may cause some dispute, all the original audio is present.

Track divisions are often marked by rough cuts and edits--- but this is exactly how the original album sounds. When you burn it to CD, make sure there is no space between tracks.

Be sure to share this freely with anyone who wants to hear it.

The Holy Grail of the Residents' mythology--- enjoy!!!
