{"product_id":"duck-stab-alive","title":"Duck Stab! Alive!","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Residents released \u003ci\u003eDuck Stab!\u003c\/i\u003e as a seven inch, 33 1\/3 rpm EP in 1978. For the group, the relatively lighthearted EP represented a break from the much more experimental Eskimo recordings which consumed the majority of a four-year period from 1975-79... For Ralph Records it was a much-needed revenue source at a time when the band was not producing much product. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo everyone’s surprise, the EP was a hit, selling 50,000 copies in a few months. The demand was so high that Ralph insisted the band record a second EP, \u003ci\u003eBuster \u0026amp; Glen\u003c\/i\u003e, which they paired with \u003ci\u003eDuck Stab!\u003c\/i\u003e to make an LP, which was also quite successful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral years later, Night Flight, a program featuring alternative programming on US cable TV, aired Residents’ video, including the Hello Skinny music video based on a song from the \u003ci\u003eDuck Stab!\u003c\/i\u003e \/ \u003ci\u003eBuster \u0026amp; Glen\u003c\/i\u003e album. The program aired from 1981-88 often highlighting The Residents to the extent that many of the group’s fans cited Night Flight as their initial introduction to the band. Fast forwarding to 2016 when Night Flight resurrected itself as a streaming video service, Night Flight Plus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn recognition of their long-standing connection, Night Flight invited The Residents to create a program in celebration of the service’s 40th Anniversary on June 5, 2021. Since the band was already rehearsing \u003ci\u003eDuck Stab!\u003c\/i\u003e as part of their upcoming 50th Anniversary Tour, the forty-year-old EP\/LP seemed like a perfect choice for Night Flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a professional camera crew, led by director John Sanborn and director of photography Frazer Bradshaw, The Residents performed the reworked \u003ci\u003eDuck Stab! Aive!\u003c\/i\u003e music over three days from May 9-21, 2021 at the 25th Street Studio in Oakland, CA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe results, as you can hear and see on the discs of this limited boxed set, are spectacular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Chess","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50481016504651,"sku":"1137138","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/26ea7264-b62b-4f9a-b8d0-5d6dc2484613_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727531625","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/duck-stab-alive","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
