Case and disc are in great shape.

The original soundtrack album. Sort of.

The Residents are famous for their, shall we say, unusual approach to media. The impact of their collective thoughts have redefined musical forms, pointed the way for music video, and blurred the lines between concert and traditional theater. But, perhaps, their greatest impact has been on the art form of CD-ROM.

The Residents have created an interactive ROM music album, The Gingerbread Man, and two game-like CD-ROMs, Freak Show and Bad Day On The Midway.

Bad Day On The Midway, released in 1995, has set critics afire with remarks like:

"A+... top five multimedia titles of 1995" - Entertainment Weekly

"...straddles the line between Art with a capital A and bad-boy gross-out fun" - Rolling Stone

"David Lynch could take lessons from (The Residents)" - Newsweek

...as well as winning Macromedia's People Choice Award for "Best Entertainment Title of 1995".

When the time came to issue an audio-only "soundtrack" style music album from Bad Day On The Midway, The Residents felt that the ROM should be the jumping off point for creating a musical work based on Bad Day On The Midway rather than just stringing a bunch of tunes together. Hence, Have A Bad Day was born out of the inspiration that brought the ROM to life.

Put this disc in your player and prepare for your own private hell.

Have a bad day.
