The Residents - Warning: Uninc - Live And Experimental Recordings 1971-1972 [LP] - RSD 2022

As they became The Residents, San Francisco's most treasured sons (and, for all we know, daughters) produced a number of experimental tapes, and even ventured beyond their studio to perform on stage. This set captures both those live shows and a previously-unheard-in-its-entirety studio recording, '1-10 (With A Touch Of 11)'. Raw and unsophisticated, and deeply experimental with regards the studio material, all three recordings shine a light onto the group's early, intrauterine period, capturing them performing together, and represents an invaluable part of their formative story.

Part of the band's ongoing pREServed series, providing an accompaniment to a collection of vinyl reissues of their better known 1970s recordings, 'Warning: Uninc' bears little relation to the rest of recorded music history, a pattern The Residents have continued over the 50 years since these recordings were made.
