DUCK STAB
 
CD Liner Notes

The fifth LP release by The Residents, Duck Stab started off its life as an EP of seven songs. The record proved to be a big hit and was soon united with a second EP, Buster & Glen, to form the LP, Duck Stab / Buster & Glen. All the tracks from the two EPs are represented here. This release, recorded in 1977, startled the world's ears with its "modern-day nursery rhyme" characterizations. It is fitting that Goosebump, a contemporary Mother Goose, has been added to complete this Compact Disc.

"Ignorance of your culture is not considered cool."

EuroRalph Special Edition Notes

Duck Stab

For many admirers of the group, Duck Stab has been the ultimate release by The Residents. It is reported that Duck Stab "lifted many people across the country out of the slumber of the Seventies". We at Euro Ralph do not know whether this is true or not. But it's a fact, that the original 7" EP, with 7 songs and 16 minutes of music, resulted in a limited sound quality. Therefore the songs on this little disc have been re-mastered for better sound, evolving in more pleasure for admirers of "Constantinople" and the like. Enjoy.
Buster & Glen
Due to the greed of The Resident's record company Ralph Records, Buster & Glen had a very limited life of its own. Instead of being released as a 7" EP, commercial reasons degraded Buster & Glen to become somewhat like Duck Stab's bonus tracks appendix. Euro Ralph always believed that the material on Buster & Glen was too strong to end up as a B-side. And now this masterpiece finally appears on a 3" CD of its own, being part of this split-cover-release. All tracks experienced the same sound enhancement as its sister release Duck Stab.
