JIM KNIPFEL & BRIAN POOLE - FACELESS FOREVER

  • faceless forever - a residents encyclopaedia
    by jim knipfel & brian poole
        (2022, book, uk, cherry red books)

This almost 300 pages, hardcover book arrived last week.
I had expected it to be some sort of extended discography, maybe with an additional alphabetical list of all of the songs, but that's not what "Faceless Forever" is.
The book does list all of the albums and all of the people that participated in making these happen. Not just the musicians but also the guy behind Euro Ralp, or the person who ran U.W.E.B., or the radio stations that the Residents worked with.
So not really what I expected (although I might have expected it not to be what I expected, as with most Residents-related output), but it is fascinating.
Fun ! (and informative)

A Cherry Red Books release.
