The Residents
Mole Show
Album US 1983 on Ralph Records label
Electronic, Spoken Word and Soundtrack (Abstract, Experimental)
First pressing with cover art wraparound sheet glued over gray/brown thick cardboard sleeve. Limited edition of 1800 copies. Manufactured by Ralph Records, it was however designed to look like a bootleg for marketing reasons. There are no title, label name, catalog number, or credits printed on the sleeve. Only a paper sheet is included listing all persons involved with the show. Tracklist and durations are not listed on the release. Title appears as "The Residents' Mole Show - Live At The Roxy - October 30, 1982" on A-side label, and "The Residents Mole Show" on the insert. Runout etchings on vinyl only give the title of the album (Mole Show), a catalog number (001) and the side (A/B). The front cover image was taken from the European Mole Show program; the back sleeve image is a picture of a piece of the burlap screen which was used in all of the concerts. This album is a condensation of the two concerts given by The Residents at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on October 30, 1982 (early and late shows).
