Commercial Album showcased the incredible depth of the group’s musical palette and proved definitively that they could easily be as big as The Beatles if they wanted to. Probably bigger, actually. Featuring a breathless collage of toe-tappers, memorable melodies, instrumental experiments and guest performers (Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and XTC’s Andy Partridge among them), the record has since acquired legendary status among both fans and confused onlookers alike.

CD - The classic pop satire masterpiece, plus 23 unreleased and never-before-on-CD tracks! Forty one-minute tracks, each designed to be played three times over to give a three minute pop song. Includes b-sides, rehearsals, re-workings, compilation tracks and live recordings. Remastered from the original tapes and produced with the Residents and the cryptic corporation. Includes rare and unseen imagery and essay by Jim Knipfel and sleevenotes by the Residents’ mysterious archivist.

LP - Double LP with Booklet. Alongside the original album, this 2LP edition presents the ‘COMS 1-3 RDX Suite’ – a brand new interpretation of (almost) the entire album, produced by the group using the original multi-track tapes – and a brand new sleevenote essay shedding new light on the album’s production.
