The Residents- Eskimo (preserved Edition)

Formed in the early 1970s, The Residents have been charting a unique path through the musical landscape for over 45 years. From far-out, experimental recordings to highly conceptual, innovative multi-platform projects, the band has refused to stand still, and continues to move in several different directions at once. But you probably already knew that. Produced with The Cryptic Corporation using archival tapes supplied by The Residents themselves, this package explores and expands the classic 1979 album – the record which brought The Residents to a wider, international audience. Including an acapella suite, live in the studio recordings, related unreleased recordings, the ‘Goosebump’ and ‘Replacement’ projects and live tracks, this is The Residents as we’ve always wanted to hear them. Bonus material includes unheard 1978 Demo, album acapellas, unreleased tracks and live in the studio material.
