Early scratch recordings from Demons Dance Alone

This pack contained a covering letter, playing instructions, a poem and the CD itself. The CD contains 28 tracks but only 17 are listed as songs, the others being "incidental".
The first official release of Demons Dance Alone was the "Deluxe Edition", a limited edition of 3000 numbered copies with a bonus CD. The CDs are contained in a hardback book with lyrics and a velvet-effect outer sleeve.
"Life would be wonderful" is renamed "Mr. Wonderful" in the Deluxe Edition.

Note: This album is not by the Residents.  It was made by a "remix artist" called Paralyzer who, with the cooperation of The Residents, used the master tapes to "The King & Eye" to create a different album with new music but incorporating samples of the Residents' original.  It includes songs not included on the original "King and Eye."

The 12 Days of Brumalia [more]

x CD 2004 Ralph America RA17 US

Note: Numbered edition of 1000. The first 475 copies were sent out with faulty covers: The faulty cover had a triangle/eye design on the front, and is numbered on the inside. Corrected covers have a top-hatted eyeball on it's side in water on the front, and are numbered on the outside. Also, faulty covers were printed without a black plate, causing them to have a brownish appearance. Ralph America later made corrected covers available to faulty cover buyers, but they're not numbered.

I Murdered Mommy [more]

  CD 2004 Ralph America RA18 US

Note: Hand-numbered edition of 1000. The titles listed above are not disclosed in the release. They were made mention of after it's release by the Cryptic Corporation as having been included on a mastering sheet, so they're descriptive words to refer to the songs by, not necessarily "titles" per se.
