[DISC 2] The Residents - Fingerprince [pREServed Edition] (2018)
“Remastered, expanded, and pREServed for future generations, this package explores and expands the classic third album and related 1976-1977 material, as well as the album’s evolution on the live stage. Including the album restored to its original conceptual running order, plus long-forgotten unreleased material, live-in-the-studio tracks and concert recordings…“
This transitional album for the group may not be one of their best, but makes up for it in historical importance. The self-created myth has that the album was intended to be the first three-sided release, what probably transpired was that the group had more songs than could be fit on a vinyl LP, so a few years later the remaining tracks were released as the Babyfingers EP.
The bonus disc has as its centrepiece Leapmus, a recording from February 1976 which seems to possess the same sort of themes as Fingerprince. It also points a little bit in the direction of Duck Stab too, featuring some of the primitive electronics that would be flesh out further on that EP/LP. Entrance To Crypt finds the Residents firmly in proto-Industrial territory, but the following Clumsy Climb seems its opposite, Funky bass figures nailing down buzzing sounds and shrill Modern Jazz horns. Originally released on an obscure LA compilation LP, Whoopy Snorp is classic Residents nonsense, in “robotics on the blink” style with squeaking brass and thunderous crashes.
Here Tourniquet of Roses comes from a 1986 performance in Norway, which due to transport problems left the band to play for once without backing tapes. Two rehearsals from a 1982 God Song and Walter Westinghouse vary from the originals in being more coherent, less cluttered version of the albums songs. This gives them a pleasingly different slant. Death In Barstow gets an unusual treatment as Once I Went To Barstow in a live take from 2011, quite Psychedelic and powerful, bordering on something the Butthole Surfers might have done. The disc ends with Fingerprince Concentrate, which bundles all the ideas of the album into a fast-moving and menacing whole.
