HELL! CD, Ryko 1986.
THIS is the CD that caused me to become a Residents fan. I had no source of information on this band or the origin of the music on this CD - just an incomprehensibly eclectic collection of the weirdest music I had ever heard. I tried to dismiss it as novelty, but it played on my imagination and I found myself playing it over and over and over until I was obsessed.
The covers to Heaven? and HELL! fit together to make an excellent single image. Other than that, however, the packaging is complete shit. Ryko CD's for all of their artists had then-state-of-the-art quality for the sound, yet the blandest, ugliest, and least-informative packaging. Blech!
