The Residents
Residue Of The Residents
Format: 2xLP
Record Label: Superior Viaduct
Condition: New (sealed)
* Residue Of The Residents collects outtakes, rare tracks and other
experiments from this legendary San Francisco collective. Originally
released on Ralph Records in 1983 and spanning The Residents’ career up
to that point, this first-time vinyl reissue has been expanded to a
double LP and contains 26 songs from the late ’70s and early ’80s—the
group’s most fertile period. Highlights from
the first LP include the Morricone-inspired “The Sleeper,” the dreamlike
“Whoopy Snort” (initially on the LAFMS compilation Blorp Esette), the
intense collage piece “Kamikaze Lady” from the pre-Residents 1971 Baby
Sex tapes, and the RAO Studio Orchestra version of “Ups & Downs”
(which may be the group’s finest pop moment). The
second LP features many insider favorites that have not been available
on vinyl for decades: “Loser = Weed” (initially released as the B-side
to the Satisfaction single), “Death in Barstow” and “Melon Collie
Lassie” (from the Babyfingers EP), as well as The Residents’
contributions to the great Subterranean Modern compilation. Balancing
the group’s conceptual impulses with a dark palette of
electro-esotericism, Residue Of The Residents is an intoxicating
collection that serves as an ideal starting point for the uninitiated.
