New Ralph

New Ralph is a reincarnation of the iconic record label, Ralph Records. Established in 2017, this label made its debut with the highly acclaimed compilation album *New Ralph Compilation*. The following year, New Ralph embarked on an exciting reissue series, reintroducing timeless classics from their extensive catalog. With a rich history and a commitment to preserving the legacy of Ralph Records, New Ralph continues to be at the forefront of delivering exceptional music to fans worldwide.

The Residents are a US avant-garde group based in San Francisco. They officially started with the release of "Meet The Residents" in 1974, although they had been collaborating since 1969 or earlier. Known for their concept albums, multimedia projects, and enigmatic nature, the band has worked with numerous guest stars and maintains a highly secretive identity. Their name was inspired by a rejection letter from Warner Bros. Records that simply addressed them as "Residents."

Originally issued in 1998, Wormwood became one of The Residents’ grandest, most ambitious and, ultimately, most rewarding projects. Featuring all of your favourite tales of chaos and carnage, incestual rape, brutality, murder, sacrifice, retribution, bloodshed and, of course, circumcision that made The Bible the must-read #1 best-seller it became. For sure, Wormwood finds The Residents on fine, thought-provoking form.

Be warned, though – The Residents DO NOT intend to mock or undermine the Good Book in any way. As ever, they come in peace, more interested in shedding new light than bringing about even more disharmony to a world already full to bursting on that score.

Never before released on vinyl, this edition, finally, meets public demand. Remastered and resplendent in original artwork and inner sleeves featuring the work of the wonderful Leigh Barbier.
