The Residents reissuing early records, announce 2018 North American tour

The Residents have announced they’ll be reissuing their early catalog as part of a series they’re calling “The Residents pREServed.” In addition to the remastering the records from the original tapes, the reissues contain outtakes, alternate mixes, non-LP singles and EPs, new liner notes and more. Starting at the beginning, they’ll reissue their first two albums, 1974’s Meet the Residents and 1976’s Third Reich ‘N Roll, on January 19 via Cherry Red. Details on both are below.

Also in 2018: a new Residents album and a second record featuring Residents covers made by fans. The Residents will also be on tour in the spring, including a NYC show at Murmrr Theatre on April 22. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, November 17 at 10 AM.
