The Beatles Play the Residents and vice versa
Good luck finding this one in physical form. I saw a cover for sale once for $200. Rumor is that The Residents intended the album to be a tribute to the Beatles and instead, it was interpreted to be against everything the Beatles stood for (what did they stand for?). The release also fostered a more limited rumor that The Beatles were The Residents in disguise - which I think is funny since The Residents started out not knowing how to play instruments. Oh well, it worked and even Beatle fans collected the limited edition of 500.
The B side included the track "Flying" because it was the only song the Residents could find that was written by all four members of the group. John Lennon is used on both tracks saying "we tried, we tried". Enjoy!
A side: The Valley of a Day in the Life
B side: Flying

What a great little ditty here - used to love side a and that made me a Beatles fan if you can believe that.
