The Residents - Meet the Residents (Mono Fan Made "Definitive" Version) (FLAC)




FAN MADE "DEFINITIVE" VERSION

Source: 1988 TORSO CD FLAC/CUE/LOG, 1974 Vinyl FLAC
NEITHER OF THESE ARE FROM MY RIPS! TORSO CD sourced form rutracker, 1974 Vinyl sourced from soulseek. Special thanks to those who originally ripped these. Trust me, I wouldve loved to source from the 1974 vinyl, but theyre extremely rare.

EDITS:
1. "Smelly Tongues": This tracks intro (first 8 or so seconds) was a fold down of the stereo mix on the TORSO CD, this was fixed here by taking the rip of the original press vinyl, removing the noise using iZotope, and splicing its intro in. Unedited version included in a separate folder.

2. "Rest Aria": This track had some pops around 15 seconds in that last for a split second, these were also removed with iZotope. 

3. "N-ER-GEE": This track fades out with a repeating section, the original version has 1 more repeat than the TORSO one, so I copy-pasted it one more time and lined it up+deamplified that last line accordingly. This track has some clipping on the TORSO version, but there isnt anything I could do about that sadly.

ALL tracks have fadeouts that vary slightly from the original press, but like the clipping, there isn't anything I could figure out how to do for that. Though, it isn't very noticable on my end.

The 1988 TORSO CD is slightly at the wrong speed compared to the 1974 vinyl. This has been fixed using Audacity.

This version is an attempt to get the TORSO version sounding as close to the original press as possible, but without all of the noise the original press rip has. Not sure if the vinyl just, sounds like that? Or if the person who ripped it just has a noisy copy. Not like I'd know, fuck trying to find one of those nowadays.

EDIT (9/11/21 5:45pm EST): Reuploaded track "N-ER-GEE" due to an exporting error. Track should be fine now, sorry about that
