New Ralph

New Ralph is a reincarnation of the iconic record label, Ralph Records. Established in 2017, this label made its debut with the highly acclaimed compilation album *New Ralph Compilation*. The following year, New Ralph embarked on an exciting reissue series, reintroducing timeless classics from their extensive catalog. With a rich history and a commitment to preserving the legacy of Ralph Records, New Ralph continues to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional music to fans worldwide.

The Residents are a US avant-garde group based in San Francisco. They officially started with the release of "Meet The Residents" in 1974, although they had been collaborating since 1969 or earlier. Known for their concept albums, multimedia projects, and enigmatic nature, the band has worked with numerous guest stars and maintains a highly secretive identity. Their name was inspired by a rejection letter from Warner Bros. Records that simply addressed them as "Residents."

Released on CD for the first time, this set captures the group’s earliest work – two legendary album length demo tapes and three live recordings made under the direction of their mentor, The Mysterious N. Senada, between the Springs of 1971 and 1972. Packed with non-songs, poetry, mutant cover versions, sonic experiments and ambitious suites, The W***** B*** Album and B.S. set the groundwork for all that was to follow in the studio, whilst the three live recordings show the group – then a large, rambling collective rather than anything resembling a band – exploring the live-show-as-performance-art space they continue to inhabit to this day. This is must-hear material for both fans of The Residents and those interested in post-hippy, pre-punk DIY avant-garde experimentalism.
