THE CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE RESIDENTS PLUS OVER 20 UNRELEASED TRACKS! BOTH MONO AND STEREO ALBUM MIXES, THE ‘SANTA DOG’ EP, OUT-TAKES AND THE PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN ‘1-10 (WITH A TOUCH OF 11)’ RECORDINGS.

ALL MATERIAL REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES. PRODUCED WITH THE RESIDENTS AND THE CRYPTIC CORPORATION. INCLUDES RARE AND UNSEEN IMAGERY AND ESSAY AND SLEEVENOTES BY IAN SHIRLEY AND THE RESIDENTS’ MYSTERIOUS ARCHIVIST. LONG-AWAITED BY THE RESIDENTS’ LARGE INTERNATIONAL FANBASE

Formed in the early 1970s, The Residents have been charting a unique path through the
musical landscape for over 45 years. From far-out, experimental recordings to highly
conceptual, innovative multi-platform projects, the band has refused to stand still, and
continues to move in several different directions at once.

Produced with the involvement of The Cryptic Corporation, and with full access to the
band’s extensive tape archive, this package explores and expands the classic debut album and related 1972-1973 material. Including both mono and stereo mixes of ‘Meet The Residents’, the ‘Santa Dog’ EP, alternate versions of classic album tracks and other long-lost unreleased material, this is The Residents as we’ve always wanted to hear them.

Remastered, expanded, and preserved for future generations.
