• THE FIRST IN-DEPTH RETROSPECTIVE OF THE SEMINAL LABEL!
• FEATURING CLASSIC SINGLES, ALBUM CUTS, RARITIES AND FIVE PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS.
• THE RESIDENTS! YELLO! SNAKEFINGER! MX-80 SOUND! RENALDO AND THE LOAF! ART BEARS! AND MORE.
• OVERSEEN BY THE RESIDENTS, WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES.
• 7,500 WORD ESSAY BY THE RESIDENTS’ MYSTERIOUS ARCHIVIST.
• ARTWORK BY GARY PANTER AND PORNO GRAFIX.
Ahead of the curve as ever, in 1972 The Residents turned their back on the mainstream music industry and established their own Ralph Records imprint, taking control of every aspect of the recording, design and manufacturing process of their records. Over the next decade, Ralph would release numerous seminal singles and albums by a diverse range of artists from both the US and Europe, capturing the zeitgeist perfectly in the era of punk and new wave, when the DIY aesthetic went overground.
Featuring key singles, vital album tracks and a number of recordings appearing on CD for the first time, as well as previously unheard material from Schwump, Snakefinger, MX-80 Sound and Gary Panter, ‘Buy Or Die!’ is not only an insight into The Residents’ world but also into the workings of their DIY mindset, with most of the tracks here being recorded in the group’s own studio, and released in artwork produced by their own graphics department. From established names such as Yello and The Residents themselves, to lesser-known gems by Fred Frith, Tuxedomoon et al, this is a distinctive snapshot of that experimental and open-minded time and place, as seen through the lense of one of America’s most adventurous artists.
Complete with a 7,500 word first hand account essay from The Residents’ Mysterious Archivist, plenty of unusual and rare imagery and many tracks sourced directly from the Ralph tape archive, all overseen by The Residents (enabled by RA), ‘Buy Or Die!’ will entertain, enthral and infuriate in equal measure.
