THE RESIDENTS, THE THIRD REICH 'N' ROLL, ON RALPH RECORDS (RR1075) USA 1976. FIRST PRESSING OF 1,000 COPIES, SILK SCREENED COVER WITH, "WHY DO THE RESIDENTS HATE THE BEATLES?" INSERT. Just so you know, Ebay will not allow this lp to be sold outside the USA, it is by far one of the most important works of avant garde rock and roll projects ever to be realized, period!!!! The Residents. Their second (officially) released album, it is a parody and satire of pop music and commercials from the 1960s. The work consists of two side-long pastiches of various songs from the period. The liner notes state that approximately 30 songs have been utilised. Some are obvious, while others are almost unrecognizable. It has been suggested that the following is the album's "true" track listing (none of these songs are listed on the album cover):

SIDE ONE: Swastikas on Parade:

  1.. Let's Twist Again (German version--sampled)
  2.. Monster Mash
  3.. Land of a Thousand Dances
  4.. Hanky Panky
  5.. A Horse with No Name
  6.. Double Shot Of My Baby's Love
  7.. The Letter
  8.. Psychotic Reaction
  9.. Revolution 9
  10.. Little Girl
  11.. Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (German version)
  12.. Talk Talk
  13.. I Want Candy
  14.. To Sir, with Love
  15.. Telstar
  16.. Wipe Out
  17.. Heroes and Villains

SIDE TWO: Hitler Was A Vegetarian:

  1.. Judy In Disguise (With Glasses)
  2.. 96 Tears
  3.. It's My Party
  4.. Keem-O-Sabe
  5.. Nut Rocker
  6.. Light My Fire
  7.. Asia Minor
  8.. Ballad of the Green Berets
  9.. Yummy Yummy Yummy
  10.. Rock Around the Clock
  11.. Pushing Too Hard
  12.. Good Lovin'
  13.. Gloria
  14.. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
  15.. Sunshine of Your Love
  16.. Hey Jude
  17.. Sympathy for the Devil
Some of these songs are played simultaneously. America's "A Horse With No Name" is slightly newer than the rest of the hits on the album, but matches The Swinging Medallions' "Double Shot of my Baby's Love" exactly. The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" is performed as the guitar solo to The Beatles' Hey Jude.

So why is Dick Clark on the cover dressed like a nazi? Why does he hold a carrot in his hands? It seems to suggest that American music business executives are leading our youth and culture on a merry ride, turning the art of music into jingoism and commercial ventures designed for profit and leaving art in the gutter. Along with this record is an insert witch may or may not explain anything:
"Why do The Residents hate The Beatles?"
That was a popular question several years ago when Ralph Records released The Residents' first album, Meet the Residents. Not everyone appreciated seeing their Beatle-Gods treated so non-seriously. The real Beatles, obviously being more intelligent than their fans, thought it was hilarious. Capitol Records, predictably, thought the cover should be changed, so it was.
Then there was the second album, Not Available. Produced in total secrecy, the album is a conceptualization of the theory of obscurity, as applied to phonetic organisation, as originally put forth by the Bavarian avantguardist, N. Senada, with whom The Residents worked in the late 1960's. According to the theory of obscurity, the album was not to be released. However, in 1978, four years later after completion, the LP was released to fulfill contractual obligations.
In a more traditional vein, The Residents announce the release of their third LP, The Third Reich 'n' Roll. Already people are speculating whether The Residents are hinting that Rock 'n' Roll has brain-washed the youth of the world. When confronted with this possibility, they replied, "Well, it may be true or it may not, but we just wanted to kick out the jams and get it on."
The Third Reich 'n' Roll consists of two suites, Swastikas on Parade and Hitler was a Vegetarian. Both are semi-phonetic interpretations of top fourty hits from the sixties. "Our roots", say The Residents, a bright orange carrot clutched lovingly in their extended hands.

The cover, vinyl and insert are all in very good+++ condition and have been stored untouched for the last 32 years!!!!
