Assorted Secrets


Assorted Secrets was originally released as a cassette-only extra by the band The Residents that featured some live-in-the-studio recordings as well as a live rehearsal of the Mole Show. Following the financial disaster that was the Mole Show tour, Ralph Records needed to release product fast, and while these takes were not high enough recording quality to warrant a vinyl release, they made an enjoyable cassette release for fans of the group. Supposedly The Residents are upset that this ever got out. Originally released in 1984, this was re-released as a limited edition in 2000, featuring several bonus tracks.
