Description

This is a 33 1/3 record to THE RESIDENTS  1976  FINGERPRINCE  33 1/3 Vintage VINYL RALPH RECORD
A 33 1/3 Vintage RECORD on VINYLE.
Fingerprince is the third studio album by American art rock group the Residents, released in 1977.
It was allegedly intended to be a three-sided record titled Tourniquet of Roses, but due to financial difficulties in fulfilling such a project, the record was instead cut down to a regular two-sided album.
The album is considered a transitional period for the Residents, between the early avant-garde stylings of Meet the Residents and The Third Reich 'n Roll and the minimalist song structures of Duck Stab and Commercial Album.
In the December 31, 1977, issue of Sounds magazine, Jon Savage notes that this album is more accessible than the band's first two albums, comparing it to Steely Dan and Frank Zappa "put through 10 years and a considerable warp." 
He also compares the Residents' integrity and outrage to the first punk "explosion." Andy Gill of New Musical Express compared the second side of the album to Harry Partch.

Fingerprince's first side consists of short, minimalist songs featuring skeletal drum machines, emphasized horn and percussion sections, murky atmospherics (except for the upbeat "You Yesyesyes") and a bigger focus on vocals and lyrics.
The second side consists of one 17-minute track titled "Six Things to a Cycle", originally written as a ballet.
It is an instrumental suite composed of six movements, with a strong focus on percussion and repetition of a single motif. 
Eventually the improvised percussion is joined by wordless vocals, keyboards, horns and violins.
