The Residents
Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?

Album US 1984 on Ralph Records label
Electronic (Experimental)

Regular black vinyl edition. Also available in a limited edition red vinyl. "The Residents scripted "Vileness Fats" and started shooting this epic fantasy in 1972. It was intended to be the first full-length music video. The story concerns a love triangle made up of an Indian priestess who lives forever and a schizophrenic one-armed midget. Four years later, The Residents had shot fourteen hours of video, but had only completed about half of the script. Technological advances in video now made their black and white footage look poor, and they knew that in the five or six years it would take to complete, a video revolution would take place... so they gave up. In 1984, twelve years after starting the project, the same technological advancement that killed the project brought it back to life. Though computer enhancement, enough footage was salvaged to construct the half-hour amazement, "Whatever Happened to VILENESS FATS?"." (notes from release) © ℗ 1984, The Cryptic Corp. Jacket Made in Canada
