The Residents is one of the strangest bands in the history of music. Rejecting all forms of convention, these self-taught musicians have produced a astounding quantity of weird music, startling videos and parallel projects. Their creative universe deserves at least one entire book.'Duck Stab' is one of the most accessible of their repertory. It actually encompass two projects. Side A combines the 'Duck Stab' songs and side B the songs from 'Busten & Glen', which explain the double cover (vinyl edition). This album has the musical language of the Residents, but its subtle dosage makes it easier to tame. The arrangements are audacious and grotesque at the same time and the balance between the two is brilliant. Some discreet interventions of the synthesizer add to its bizzarro aspect. The treatment of the voices is neat and, even if it’s always the same guy who addresses to us, it’s impossible to have a feeling of proximity because of the vocal treatment makes us feel like a stranger. Many dadaesque staged parts free the pieces from the pop music shackels and bring them closer to theater. Duck Stab is a last ditch effort toward the pop format, but it transgresses most of the pop rules.The Residents have produced an avalanche of experimental music. Among their success are 'Meet the Residents', 'Third Reich and Roll', 'Not Available', 'Fingerprince', 'Eskimo', 'Commercial album' and 'Mark of the Mole'.© Alain Cliche 2016

My copy has the labels for side B "Buster & Glen" on both sides. Does anyone know if all copies of the first press are this way or do I have a misprint?
