Warning: Uninc. (Live And Experimental Recordings 1971-1972)

The Pre-Residents Years, as exhumed from the band’s extensive master tape archive.

Double LP set featuring two live shows recorded in 1971 and 1972 plus the complete ‘1-10 (With A Touch Of 11)’ album, recorded in 1972 and previously only released in short excerpts.

Produced by The Residents and The Cryptic Corporation.

As they evolved into The Residents, San Francisco’s most treasured sons (and, for all we know, daughters) created a number of experimental tapes and even took to the stage for performances.

This set captures both those live shows and a previously unheard studio recording, ‘1-10 (With A Touch Of 11)’. Raw, unsophisticated, and deeply experimental in the studio material, all three recordings shed light on the group’s early period, showcasing them performing together and representing a crucial part of their formative journey.

Part of the band’s ongoing pREServed series, complementing a collection of vinyl reissues of their more well-known 1970s recordings, ‘Warning: Uninc’ stands apart from the rest of recorded music history, a trend The Residents have maintained over the 50 years since these recordings were created.
