"The refrain of Godsong, from Fingerprince, of "All that God wanted to be was just a normal deity", sums things up neatly. Everything here is familiar, and yet none of it is in any kind of comfortable form. That LP, recorded between 1974 and '76 and released a year later, was originally intended as a three-sided LP, using concentric grooves, but that plan was abandoned once the band learned that Monty Python had already played that trick (or after they were told it was too expensive, depending on which reality you're paying attention to). Here, the original sequential order is restored, with further bonus material including unreleased studio tracks and live recordings - including the semi-legendary 1986 Tromso concert".

"This new edition of Fingerprince continues the good work done on the previous reissues of Meet The Residents and Third Reich 'N' Roll. It is great to hear the whole album as it was meant to be originally (or was it?) and the vast majority of the extras are interesting and rewarding listening. It comes with another nice booklet and sleeve note, which clarifies (or makes more blurry - depends which way you view the Residents' saga! Sorry it is not easy) the story of the album. At the time of recording (1974-76) the Residents were operating in almost total obscurity, but with a rabid creativity and a riot of ideas".
