Comment
Here's an interesting collection of tracks. The first two are unreleased performances of "I Hear Ya Got Religion," recorded in 1969, and the third snippet is from those same sessions. Fans of this song will enjoy hearing these extended jams. The Residents having a jam session?? Who would've guessed! Wild saxaphone solos abound.

Tracks 4 through 15 were recorded live in the studio, 1980, as rehearsals for a tour which never happened. Various takes from those rehearsals were released on the album "Assorted Secrets," but all the takes offered here are UNRELEASED. None of these particular performances have been issued, they are all unique versions, many with different arrangements and instruments. Fans will also be delighted to note several songs which never made it to "Assorted Secrets" in any form, such as "The Talk Of Creatures," "Love Leaks Out," and "Walter Westinghouse".

Tracks 16-19 seem to be demos from the "Title In Limbo" collaboration with Renaldo & The Loaf. An early version of "Woman's Weapon" and a very different version of "Monkey And Bunny," as well as two instrumental tracks which, as far as I can tell, have never seen the light of day in any form.

Unreleased Studio Recordings From 1969, 1980, 1983(?)
