Residents, Uninc. · 1982 · Vinyl-LP · US · RZ-8202, RZ 8202

First release with "444 Grove Street" address on back sleeve, bottom left. It has also the "10th Anniversary" logo on the bottom right, and the mention "Special special thanks to E-Mu Systems for the fabulous Emulator" just under. The sleeve was re-printed in 1985 with new address, Cryptic logo, but no mention of thanks to E-Mu System. However the disc is the same with same matrix numbers. Location recordings: P. del Scrappio Manufactured by Ralph Records / 444 Grove Street / San Francisco, CA 94102 / © 1982, The Cryptic Corporation Published by Pale Pachyderm Pub (BMI) ℗ © 1982 - The Cryptic Corp. Sleeve notes: "The Tunes Of Two Cities" is the second part of The Residents' Mole Trilogy which began with "Mark Of The Mole" in 1981. While the first LP is an elaborately told story of political and social struggle, "Two Cities" is a documentation of the music of these two different cultures as they were before fate threw them into turmoil. The tracks on this record alternate between societies. First one culture...then the other...making its point, not just by what is said...but by the listener's willingness to understand the globe wrenching power of "DIFFERENCE". Runouts are hand etched except for the Sonic Arts "⊏◯⊐" stamp. Track durations are not printed on the release.
