Notes
This is the second pressing of this recording which was termed the 'official' version, following the limited release of the first pressing which the Cryptic Corporation claimed was a bootleg (the 'unofficial' version). This was done as a media hype to garner interest in the recording prior to release to make people think there was demand for the recording from sources other than the Cryptic Corporation themselves, which made the public believe that the LP was obviously highly desirable and definitely worthy of release.
This second pressing features covert art printed direct onto card rather than the printed paper cover glued onto the card sleeve of the first pressing. The cardboard is white.
Below is some (mis-) information from the book "The Cryptic Guide To THE RESIDENTS", 1986
FACTS:
This album is an "unofficial" condensation of two Mole Show concerts given by The Residents at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles in October of 1983. The "bootleg" record has no label or catalog number - it was bootleged by an "inside source" at the shows, whose efforts were later discovered, but were not discouraged.
Ralph Records was later financially compensated, after discovering that the resulting album was being manufactured and sold.
The sound quality of the record is quite good, considering that the recording was made from a cassette tape of the two concerts. The front cover was taken from the European MOLE SHOW program; the back cover is a picture of a piece of the burlap screen which was used in all of the concerts.
COLLECTOR INFO:
1800 copies of THE LIVE MOLE SHOW were produced in total secrecy, and were sold by mail and through word of mouth. Later that year, Ralph Records came into possession of the master tapes, and manufactured the same recording as a picture disc, in a limited edition of 1500 copies.
Other bootleg recordings have been made of the MOLE SHOW concerts. One of the more notable is the THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA, a self-proclaimed edition of 346 copies (quite suspect), which was recorded and manufactured in Italy. The overall sound quality of this release is quite poor, even for a bootleg album.
