Notes

This is the third in a series of reissues. The front cover sleeve has a darker orange lettering than the previous reissues, the back cover is in color instead of black and white previously. The back cover reproduce the original liner notes and the original picture sleeve of the album. At last, this 1979 reissue is a repress with new matrix/runout (new cut).

All selections composed and arranged by The Residents and published by Pale Pachyderm Publishing (BMI) except Boots by Lee Hazelwood (ASCAP), Nobody But Me by Human Beinz used courtesy of Capitol Records.

[Liner notes:]
"About this pressing...
Meet The Residents was originally released in 1974, on the Ralph Records label. The tapes were monaural recordings on home equipment and suffered further fidelity loss in the mastering and pressing stages. In 1976, The Cryptic Corporation came into legal possession of The Residents recordings, and began working on how to restore these original tapes to studio quality. Using the master tape as a directive, the album was disassembled, reprocessed, and reconstructed into this stereophonic version. No re-recording was employed. The artists who appear on this recording have personally approved this as an authorized realization of the original LP.
The Cryptic Corporation"

Gldasiy
The first time I heard 'Meet the Residents', I was disappointed by its poor sound quality, but dazzled by its inventive genius. I was shaken by what I heard. There was nothing to hold onto, beside a few melodies entangled in a bizarre chaos. The musical language of the Residents was revolutionary. It reminded experiments of the Krautrock band 'Faust', but more tripped. Some sound incursions appeared to be headed toward electronic music without making it all the way. “On Rest Aria,” a detuned piano and a xylophone plunged us into a nostalgia that seemed to go back to 1920’s. Something old emerged from this music expertly deconstructed. As if America’s myths were streamed on a screen during the silent film era. Incursions of saxophone and other brass betrayed the group’s origins by echoing New Orleans. It ended with “N-ER-GIE (Crisis Blues),” a long collage full of interesting ideas where a song of the 1960s was cleverly deconstructed and placed in the middle of more or less grotesque tunes. The strangest thing is that the more we listened to this album, the more we tasted it.© Alain Cliche 2016
