1983 picture-disc re-issue of The Residents' classic 1980 album, possibly one of the strangest records ever made, by one of the strangest and most original bands that ever existed.

condition (record): VG+ (light surface noise and yellowing of the picture image) / generic PVC Picture disc edition of The Residents' 1979 environmental masterpiece. The visual element adds another layer to the album's elaborate conceptual approach - the disc itself becomes visual artifact complementing the audio. The music remains their most immersive and fully realized work, abandoning all conventional song structures for pure sound design and environmental audio. This pressing makes the album function as visual object as well as sonic experience, fitting The Residents' multimedia approach perfectly. Collector's item that maintains and enhances the original's artistic vision rather than compromising it.
