The Mole Trilogy, 1981-1985.

by mitchellbratton

Mark of the Mole, 1981. (Probably my all-time favorite Residents album.) See also separate folder for the brown vinyl collectors edition.

The Tunes of Two Cities, 1982.

Intermission, 1982. Even with only 5 songs, one of the greatest things they ever put out.

The Big Bubble, 1985. Always a controversial album. It has grown on me over the years, but it's still not one of my favorites and I rarely play it.
