***Back in print for The Residents big 50th anniversary! Limited edition double LP of only 200 hand-numbered copies in Canary Yellow and Red swirled vinyl. The Residents have officially been releasing albums since 1972 and over that time have bounced around between mellow electronic, abrasive noise, new wave, spoken word story albums, and all other types of avantgarde. Between 1994 and 2005 many studio tracks and all live performances featured a mysterious, costumed, female vocalist that often stole the show. Loss Of The Lizard Lady collects these female fronted tunes into a very limited edition double LP packed inside a beautiful gatefold jacket designed by Steven Cerio. Includes many rare tracks that were previously only available on very limited edition CDs and DVDs.
2XLP $42.75

***Bunny Boy was one of the most ambitious projects in The Resident's long history of experimental concept driven studio albums and stage shows. It began as an interactive web series about an old friend, "Bunny" trying to find his missing brother and soon after became a studio album, a soundtrack album, and a stage show that toured Europe and the United States. By the time the tour had finished the story had grew to 66 web episodes and eventually sprouted two more studio albums. Arkansas was a follow up to Bunny Boy but was only released as a limited-edition CD and Ozan was a download only album of instrumentals written for the BB project but never used. Ozark collects all the tracks from Arkansas and Ozan with an additional 4 unreleased songs. First time ever on vinyl and limited to only 250 hand-numbered copies on Mint and Baby Pink Swirled double vinyl.

***For the first time anywhere, a live album from The Residents' 2008 Bunny Boy tour! Bunny Boy was one of the most ambitious projects in the group's long history of experimental concept driven studio albums and stage shows. It began as an interactive web series about an old friend, "Bunny" trying to find his missing brother and soon after became a studio album, a soundtrack album, and a stage show that toured Europe and the United States. By the time the tour had finished the story had grew to 66 web episodes and eventually sprouted two additional limited-edition CDs of more studio recordings, a book that collected all the email responses to the videos, and even a comic book. This is the only tour by The Residents that has never had a live album released in any way. Now available in a limited edition of 250 copies on Hot Pink & Black Swirled Vinyl or 250 Blue & Black Marble Vinyl. All come inside hand-numbered matte finish gatefold jackets. Also available as a limited edition 2xCD in 6-panel digipack.

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.
