Residents - American Composer's Series, 1982-1987 (3cd Preserved Edition)

The classic 1980s albums remastered from the original tapes

Formed in the early 1970s, The Residents have now been charting a unique path through he musical landscape for a slightly ridiculous fifty-three years. From far-out, experimental recordings to highly conceptual, innovative multi-platform projects, the band refuses to stand still, and continues to move in several different directions at once. But you already knew that.

Produced with The Cryptic Corporation, and digging deep into the band's archive, this set dives into the classic mid-1980s 'American Composers Series', featuring material originally recorded by James Brown, George Gershwin, Hank Williams, John Philip Sousa and Ray Charles, as well as previously unreleased Residential interpretations of songs by Sun Ra, Lou Christie, Buddy Holly and... The Residents themselves? Of special interest to hardcore fans and collectors will be three Sun Ra cover versions originally intended for Volume 3 of the abandoned series, alongside previously unknown versions of Lou Christie's 'Lightning Strikes' and a lost Residents original, 'Burning With Desire'.

pREServed for future generations - this is The Residents as we've always wanted to hear them, and the latest in a series of archival reissues that will continue throughout 2025 and beyond. Look out for forthcoming 'Animal Lover' and 'Tweedles!' sets, and a rumoured 'Randy, Chuck & Bob - In The Studio?' release.
