Thanks Bill - that was my first of your videos. I have many of those Resident’s works, but certainly not all, on CD. Saw an Ann Arbor Buckaroo show at some point. I may even have joined UWEB, and I always read it as U-WE-B? They sent me a post card once of that old Guinness Book photo of giant worms being held up I think. I am sure I have an Uncle Willies button still. I love Stars & Hank, and a lot more. I started listening in the early eighties in Toledo.
I just subscribed to your twitch. I recommend checking out the pReserved series from the Residents. Reissuing their early albums with TONS of unreleased stuff. I saw them live thrice. Once with Homer and Hardy and twice with Eric Drew Feldman taking Hardy’s place. My earliest show was 2010
Thank you for sharing this is a true treasure of a collection. I have been a fan for about 14 years now but only own CDs (mostly their remastered pReserved albums) and 1 vinyl (Intermission). I need to expand my vinyl Residents collection
Very impressive collection, Bill. I'm glad you have the rarer water damaged versions (the Residents would like that as well, I suspect). I always hoped Jandek was a Resident.
One of my first lot of wages went on buying picture discs of Meet The Residents ,with the original cover on the disc, & The Mole Show. I regret not buying The Third Censored & Roll from a stall in Manchester. I've never seen it since. Seeing Residents LPs in shops over here was a real event.
I am happy for you and jealous of you , at the same time. 😆 I love The Residents and just started my collection . I got Eskimo but it don't habs the stories.you know where i could read them ?
This is amazing. I have a Ton of residents. You have done a fantastic job showing your collection and history of the releases. Very cool. Thank you man
@@thumpfinger no I don’t. I’m part of blocGLOBAL. We put out some Renaldo stuff. Check is out on Discogs. I was in a band called The Scallions. Molly Harvey and Nolan cook from the residents recorded with us. Our first album was put out by former Ralph owner Tom Timony. Etc etc etc.
I've never heard of The Residents until now. I found this very interesting and will go and hunt around for these. It's a shame you original pressings are water damaged. Were they in plastic sleeves at the time ? I'm suspecting not. Hey, thanks for the video Bill. You're a nice fellow. BTW I noticed you have some LP covers are hole punched and corner snipped up top. What was the significance of this. I hear many conflicting stories about this.
I did not start using plastic sleeves on a regular basis until many years after I got those records. The cuts and holes in my Residents record covers are usually to signify promo copies, but I sometimes bought copies that were in cut-out or bargain bins. Collecting by any means possible is sometimes the only option.
@@BillsBoxOfSound Thanks for responding Bill. Since posting my original message I have since found and purchased a sealed Original Pressing of The Residents: Mark of the Mole 1981 U.S first pressing. Wow, I never thought I'd find a sealed one. A nice copy for the collection. Have a great day Bill !
I haven't seen a copy of my rarest record Live in Milano 13-6-83. Mole Show on Semolina Records. Ltd edition of 346 copies. Titled The Third Secret of Fatima. Produced by Adolf Constantinople. Commentary says this was when this Mole Show was at halfway point to completion. That's all i can tell you. I paid $30 in fall 83. When records were $5 it promised to be a special thing. Have searched extensively online and have never seen another copy. ,,,,,,,,, 💪
I have a copy of Fingerprints. It is rough brownish grey rough card stock cover and a cryptic corp digest description of the goals. Demonstrating the strength of the compositions You're busted!!! This has a minute and a half segment of Six things to a cycle that is absent from the black and colorful slick cover. Back to the busted lol. The missing section can be heard on Eskimo (birth) and a commercial album track. Oh bother. Ummm Die in Terror. Lol. Just kidding. It is a very moody ambience and useful for more than one project. Gave me some smiles back in the day but no way to spread the cheese. Oops the cheese is up there. the Residents are comfort music and will always be in me even if not listened too! I love the Residents but Renaldo and the loaf is a not guilty pleasure. I am too old to apologize for what i like. Go Residents Go!
Hey there Bill. This is crazy. After seeing the avatar come up for this video I thought you were holding one of those kids Farmer Says wheels. The ones that you set the arrow in the middle and pull the string. It looked just like one of those. I never knew that you were such a big Residents fan and collector. Now I know you love Zappa and definitely XTC but the Residents was a surprise. Fantastic. Can you suggest one Residents album besides 'Duck Stab' and Meet the Residents that you would tell a newbie to buy? Have a great weekend B~ Rob/Boston
Both of your suggestions are good places to start, but Rez LPs are so different that anywhere is a good starting point. Go with your gut, you may love what you hear.
Fess up .... you stole the eyeball!!!

“Title In Limbo” was a joint Residents/Renaldo release.

Excellent. I love seeing other folks Rez collections!
Greetings from Italy....Residents are fantastic! I have some of them but your collection is awesome

Censored reich n roll luckily isn’t too expensive to get. You can probably pick one up on discogs for a not too bad price
I am happy for you and jealous of you , at the same time. 😆
I love The Residents and just started my collection .
I got Eskimo but it don't habs the stories.you know where i could read them ?
Sweet video. Looking forward to checking out the Zappa collection
I heard that David Byrne did guest backing vocals on “suburban bathers” from Commercial album
he and brian eno were featured, but i thought it were the coming of the crow.....
That was sung by Hardy.
@@atzenanu I know Hardy does the lead and backing vocals but I also heard Byrne also assisted with backing vocals
This is amazing. I have a Ton of residents. You have done a fantastic job showing your collection and history of the releases. Very cool. Thank you man
I worked on the title in limbo release on cd and have released Renaldo stuff, I have mega residents dealings.
@@shawnfranklin9581 do you run secret records ?
@@thumpfinger no I don’t. I’m part of blocGLOBAL. We put out some Renaldo stuff. Check is out on Discogs. I was in a band called The Scallions. Molly Harvey and Nolan cook from the residents recorded with us. Our first album was put out by former Ralph owner Tom Timony. Etc etc etc.
@@shawnfranklin9581 I absolutely will. Good to meet you. Much respect.
Somehow I hadn't realised until today that Andy Partridge was on Commercial Album! I need to actually buy it.
If you saw them in Jan of 86 then you saw the 13th anniversary show, my friend saw them in Montreal also in January of 86.
I saw both Cleveland performances.

the entire "safety is a cootie wootie" is also featured on a big bubble cd pressing from the 80s ;) sadly never released on the fabled "Man`s Album"
Never heard of them. I'm gonna have to do me some research now..

The Commercial Album is a good one. Originally 40 X 1 minute tracks. Now has more tracks on the current Residents Re-issue Series.
Both of your suggestions are good places to start, but Rez LPs are so different that anywhere is a good starting point. Go with your gut, you may love what you hear.
@@BillsBoxOfSound Agreed, but I wouldn't start with the Big Bubble. Some fans like it and some fans don't. Myself, I struggle with that one.
@@BillsBoxOfSound Thanks Bill. I appreciated the suggestion. I will do so~
Try Icky Flix Bill. That has a wide variety of residents tunes.
I'm getting fingerprints in the mail real soon do you have a backstory for that? I'm sure going to need some sort of explanation.
The Wikipedia entry for Fingerprince has what you need to know.
Bill!!!!
WOW HARDY ARE YOU?
