This is the original version (not the later reissue in diferent sleeve) of the tremendous UWEB fan club CD of rare live Residents performances, which the rear sleeve describes as "Liver Music for the bloody buddies - An odd assortment of liver stuff 1972-1990."

Some unmissable tracks here, including the first public airing of some of the band's first performances. Track one is an absolute scorcher also.

VG+ or better condition throughout, plays perfectly.
