Description
From my personal collection, this is the rare original 1984 first pressing on Ralph Records, USA, and it includes a "Vileness Fats" envelope that came with the initial run of LPs. I bought this new directly from Ralph shortly after its release. The vinyl is play graded EX; I listened to this in its entirety recently, and it sounded great! There's just a little minor surface noise here and there in the quiet bits. The cover is also EX, with just a little minor shelf wear. This is a great looking and sounding copy: please see the hi-res photos for the general lay of the land. I need to clear out some space, so this gem is in search of a new home.

Notes
Regular black vinyl edition. Also available in a limited edition red vinyl.
"The Residents scripted "Vileness Fats" and started shooting this epic fantasy in 1972. It was intended to be the first full-length music video.
The story concerns a love triangle made up of an Indian priestess who lives forever and a schizophrenic one-armed midget.
Four years later, The Residents had shot fourteen hours of video, but had only completed about half of the script. Technological advances in video now made their black and white footage look poor, and they knew that in the five or six years it would take to complete, a video revolution would take place... so they gave up.
In 1984, twelve years after starting the project, the same technological advancement that killed the project brought it back to life. Through computer enhancement, enough footage was salvaged to construct the half-hour amazement, "Whatever Happened to VILENESS FATS?"."
