FACTS:
The MEMORIAL HITS album is yet another "greatest hits" collection of Residents tunes, as compiled by Wave Records in Japan. It was released just prior to The Residents´ tour of that country in October of 1985, in order to stimulate japanese interest for the group.
The record also includes a fold-out lyrics sheet for the songs on side one of the album (the side two songs are instrumental); however, these lyrics were not provided by The Residents, but were transcribed by the staff of Wave Records, after repeated listening of the LP. Cover artwork was done by Mark Beyer.
COLLECTOR INFO:
The MEMORIAL HITS LP remains in print in Japan, and has no collectable variations.
