Additional information
The Residents include: Don Jackovich, Sandy Sandwich, Mud's Sis, Laurie Amat, Jeanette Sartain, Olan Jones. Includes 10 bonus tracks. Editor: The Residents. The conceptual framework for THE COMMERCIAL ALBUM is very straightforward. There are 40 songs, each one-minute long. The Residents have pointed out that, with the "fat" removed, most pop songs are only one minute long--identical in length to most commercial jingles. They have concluded that "jingles are the music of America" and have facetiously suggested that one need only program each of COMMERCIAL ALBUM's selections to repeat three times in order to convert these jingles into pop songs. THE COMMERCIAL ALBUM's songs draw on The Residents' familiar arsenal of sing-songish melodies and synthesized backdrop landscapes. The vocals have been treated to lend them a disembodied presence. Guest vocalists include XTC's Andy Partridge (singing "Margaret Freeman") and Lene Lovich (singing "Picnic Boy"). The brevity of the pieces is not a distraction. Rather, the whole work plays like an alternate-universe version of a Top 40 Hit Parade.
Reviews
Uncut (p.135) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A] roiling, collective dystopian subconscious in which the conventional is suddenly uglified and life's traumatic eeriness is revealed."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
